"Ukraine's Targeted Strikes Disrupt Russia's Oil and Gas Industry"

Ukrainian forces have attacked three Russian oil refineries, including the largest operated by Rosneft, in an effort to undermine Russia's economic stability and reduce its oil revenue. This comes as Russia's oil exports reach their highest level this year, and as the country faces economic constraints due to military spending. The attacks also coincide with an upcoming presidential election in Russia, where economic stability has been a key selling point for Vladimir Putin's continued leadership.
