Ukraine said yesterday that its drones had struck a major oil processing and petrochemical complex and an oil refinery in Russia, part of an intensifying campaign to disrupt Moscow’s oil and gas sector.
Ukraine, which has become increasingly frustrated with the pace and direction of peace talks with Russia, has stepped up drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure in recent weeks, systematically targeting key facilities to try to reduce Moscow’s export revenues and stir domestic discontent.
Russia, which regularly targets Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, calls the attacks “acts of terrorism”. Some parts of Russia have suffered gasoline shortages as a result of the Ukrainian campaign.
