Ukraine Launches Daring Drone Strike on Russian Oil Facilities Forcing Putin to Confront Fuel Crisis

Breaking: Ukrainian drones have reportedly struck multiple Russian oil facilities overnight, including major blasts at the Ryazan refinery and an oil depot in Luhansk Oblast. Social media footage shows massive fireballs and thick smoke, highlighting Ukraine’s growing long-range strike capabilities. Since the 2022 invasion, Ukraine has targeted Russian energy infrastructure to weaken Kremlin funding. August alone saw 12 refineries hit, cutting over 17% of Russia’s processing capacity. Previous attacks on Ryazan halved output, and now Putin admits gas shortages in the Far East, warning new enterprises may struggle to get supplies.
