Attacks on Russian refineries
Since the end of January, Ukraine has been regularly attacking oil refineries in Russia with long-range drones. In total, Ukraine’s SBU security service has carried out 13 successful attacks on Russian refineries, according to its head Vasyl Malyuk. As a result, oil production and refining in Russia decreased by 12%. Revenues from the export of oil products account for a third of the Russian budget and the "lion's share" of the military budget.
