Ukraine says strikes disabled over half of Russia's oil refining capacity
Ukraine claims its long-range strikes have disabled 51 percent of Russia's oil refining capacity, hampering Moscow's ability to supply its forces in the 4 1/2-year-old invasion. The claim, announced Sunday, could not be independently verified. Ukrainian Defense Minister Yevhenii Khmara said strikes on refineries in cities including Moscow, Yaroslavl, and Perm were assessed by intelligence and military analysts. President Vladimir Putin admitted the attacks caused Russia to lose roughly one percent of its GDP. The intensified aerial campaign follows stalled front-line progress. Ukrainian strikes earlier sparked a fuel crisis in Russia, forcing gasoline sales restrictions. Separately, a Russian drone attack killed one in Kharkiv, while Russia reported downing 199 Ukrainian drones overnight.
