Ukraine Targets Russian Oil Refineries

The coordinated attack damaged facilities in the Volga riverside cities and disrupted petroleum exports, marking a continued effort by Kyiv to degrade Moscow's economic infrastructure.

Simultaneously, Ukraine reported repelling a massive Russian assault involving over 200 drones across its northern and eastern territories.

The U.S. Treasury's decision to extend the sanctions waiver has drawn criticism from those seeking a total embargo on Russian energy.

However, officials in Washington argue the move is necessary to stabilize global energy prices during the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
