Ukraine’s drone strikes on major Russian oil refinery 800 miles from the border sparks fire
- Ukrainian drones struck a major refinery deep inside Russia, military officials said Thursday, the fourth in three days in Kyiv’s monthslong campaign to choke Moscow’s vital oil sector.
- Russia is one of the world’s biggest energy producers, with oil providing an economic mainstay as its army tries to push deeper into Ukraine in a slow and costly advance more than four years after Moscow launched its full-scale invasion.
- The attacks have dented Russia’s refining capacity, bringing shortages at gas stations.
