What happened

Well supportedReported by 18 independent outlets

Ukraine has launched a series of drone attacks targeting targets deep inside Russian territory, including the capital region of Moscow. These attacks have specifically targeted oil refineries and other energy facilities in Russia and occupied Crimea. President Vladimir Putin has acknowledged the attacks but insists the war will continue, dismissing the setbacks to Russian oil production as 'not critical'. Concurrently, the Russian military conducted a massive barrage on Kyiv, which resulted in at least 30 deaths.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The Ukrainian strikes are described as 'long-range sanctions' intended to put political and economic pressure on the Russian regime. The targeting of major oil refineries and the capital region highlights a strategy to make the war unsustainable for Russia. The ongoing reciprocal military conflict between Kyiv and Moscow remains a central geopolitical factor.

The conflict involves intense, reciprocal military and geopolitical tension between Kyiv and Moscow.
