"Putin's Private Army Protects Oil Assets from Drone Attacks"

Vladimir Putin has deployed Russia's internal military force to enhance security at oil facilities targeted by drone attacks, impacting the country's oil production and export industry. The strikes, blamed on Ukraine, have led to the suspension of operations at various facilities, prompting Russia's energy ministry to collaborate with the National Guard to bolster protection using missile defense systems. While the impact on Russia's war machine and export industry varies based on the location of the strikes, the recent attacks have affected over a tenth of Russia's oil production capacity, with the Slavyansk oil refinery being hit in a strike reportedly carried out by Ukrainian special forces.
