In August, Ukraine intensified its attacks on Russian oil industry targets using long-range drones. This strategy, aimed at disrupting Russia's main revenue source, escalates after a ceasefire on energy infrastructure strikes. Since 2024, Ukraine has consistently targeted Russia’s oil sector while avoiding attacks on Russian power infrastructure. The temporary ceasefire allowed both sides to limit strikes, but Ukraine has now resumed drone attacks on Russian energy facilities. Agencies responsible for these strikes include Ukraine's Defense Ministry and the Security Service, reflecting a strategic shift towards drone warfare against deep targets in Russia.
Ukrainian long-range drones are conducting daily strikes on Russian oil facilities, indicating a significant escalation in Ukraine's offensive strategy targeting Russia's main revenue source.
Despite a temporary ceasefire in place, Ukraine has resumed its campaign against Russia's oil industry, altering the rules of engagement in the ongoing conflict.
