"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday night that "long-range sanctions against Russia," a reference to its deep-strike campaign targeting Russian energy facilities, is "achieving truly significant results." Moscow's vast oil industry is a critical sector, with oil and natural gas exports fueling its war efforts in Ukraine. Ukraine has been targeting infrastructure across Russia, including refineries, with long-range weapons to turn up the pressure on Moscow."
""The fuel shortage in Russia is already approaching 20% - this specifically concerns their gasoline," Zelenskyy said, citing Ukrainian data. "They've now begun tapping into diesel reserves, which they've been saving for a rainy day." Ukrainian drones have struck targets far beyond the front lines, sometimes hundreds of miles into Russian territory. A strike on Friday, for instance, hit a facility more than 800 miles away, underscoring Kyiv's long reach."
Ukraine has intensified long-range strikes against Russian energy infrastructure, including refineries and gas facilities, using drones and other deep-strike weapons. The campaign has forced Moscow to tap emergency diesel and gas reserves and has created a gasoline shortage nearing 20% according to Ukrainian data. Ukrainian forces have struck targets hundreds of miles inside Russian territory, with a reported strike more than 800 miles away. The Security Service of Ukraine reported that nearly 40% of Russian refinery capacity is idle because of the campaign. Reduced oil and natural gas exports are lowering Russia's petrodollar revenues and constraining its budget and war financing.
