Ukraine has dramatically intensified its drone attacks on Russian oil refineries, striking multiple facilities in a bold move to disrupt Moscow's war machine. The latest wave of assaults has reportedly caused significant damage, further straining Russia's already pressured energy sector.
Strategic Drone Campaign Disrupts Russian Oil Infrastructure
Ukrainian forces have launched a series of precision drone strikes targeting at least three major Russian oil refineries this week. According to military analysts, these attacks form part of Kyiv's broader strategy to weaken Russia's economic capacity to sustain its invasion.
The strikes come as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky continues to push Western allies for additional military support, particularly advanced air defence systems and long-range weapons.
Trump's Controversial War Comments Spark Outrage
Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump has reignited controversy with claims that he could swiftly end the conflict if returned to office. "I know Putin very well, and I know Zelensky well," Trump stated during a campaign rally. "I could have that war settled in 24 hours."
Ukrainian officials have dismissed Trump's remarks as irresponsible, with one senior adviser calling them "dangerously simplistic." The comments have also drawn criticism from current US administration officials, who maintain that any peace deal must respect Ukraine's sovereignty.
Frontline Situation Remains Volatile
On the ground, fighting continues along multiple fronts, with both sides reporting incremental gains and losses. Russian forces have reportedly made minor advances in eastern Ukraine, while Ukrainian troops maintain pressure near the southern city of Kherson.
Military experts suggest the coming weeks could prove crucial, as Ukraine prepares for potential new offensives and Russia attempts to consolidate its positions before winter sets in.
