Ukrainian Drone Strikes Target Russian Energy Facilities, Causing Fuel Deficits

Ukraine has intensified drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, including a significant oil refinery in the south. These strikes aim to disrupt Russia's revenue streams and bring the war's impact closer to its population. Russian President Putin has acknowledged fuel shortages and pledged to enhance protection for oil facilities and increase production. The annexed Crimea has also reported an emergency due to fuel and power disruptions from Ukrainian assaults on its supply lines.
