Drone strikes on the Ruscist oil refineries complement sanctions

Media

The Russian Federation is gradually losing the privilege of waging the war on the territory of Ukraine alone. Ukrainian drones reach the Russian territory at a distance of 1000 km from the Ukrainian borders.

The constant build-up of drone attacks on the Russian energy infrastructure, which supports its aggressive war, is a necessary way to exhaust the Russian war economy.

Russian air defences are unable to protect the key energy facilities.

An effective way to undermine the Russian war economy can also involve the use of swarms of drones against the main oil pumping and gas compressor stations, since they are the arteries of the Russian energy industry.
