According to reports by Haaretz and OilPrice.com, an extensive wave of Ukrainian drone strikes that began in late October has led to significant damage to Russian energy infrastructure. The strikes have disrupted operations at nine of the country's 35 largest refineries, reducing Russia's total oil refining capacity by 30%. Reports indicate that Ukraine intensified its aerial campaign against energy targets after an energy ceasefire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump failed to materialize. Further details have not yet been released.
