Ukraine Targets Russian Energy Infrastructure
Strikes impact Russian fuel supplies and war revenue.
Event Overview
Ukraine has escalated a long-range drone campaign targeting Russian oil refineries and military infrastructure, including sites in Slavyansk-na-Kubani, Yaroslavl, and Krasnodar Krai. These attacks have caused financial losses estimated at $13 billion in 2025 and led to fuel shortages and rationing in regions such as Irkutsk and Crimea. President Vladimir Putin has acknowledged a 'certain deficit' of fuel, while President Zelenskyy describes the strikes as 'long-range sanctions' to weaken Russia's war machine.
