What happened
The International Energy Agency assessed damage to Russian oil refineries following recent strikes targeting refining capacity. Ukraine claimed that long-range strikes had neutralized more than half of Russia’s oil refining capacity. These attacks were reportedly carried out in cities including Moscow, Yaroslavl, Ust-Luga, Perm, Saratov, and Syzran. The claims could not be independently verified.
Why it matters
The strikes are reported to have hampered Russia’s ability to supply its forces. President Vladimir Putin acknowledged the attacks, stating they had cost Russia roughly 1% of its gross domestic product. The events are occurring amid global concerns regarding oil flows and energy security.
