Ukraine says strikes have disabled over half of Russia's oil refining capacity
Original: Ukraine claims to have taken out more than half of Russia’s oil refining capacity
Ukraine says its long-range drone strikes have knocked out more than half of Russia's oil refining capacity, according to an AP News report. The claim, if accurate, would represent a major blow to Russia's fuel production and export revenues as the war approaches its fourth year. Russian officials have not confirmed the scale of the damage, and independent verification of the figures remains difficult amid ongoing attacks on energy facilities on both sides.
Why now: The claim signals a significant escalation in Ukraine's campaign against Russia's energy infrastructure, with potential global fuel price implications.
