"Ukraine's Targeted Strikes Disrupt Russia's Oil and Gas Industry"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Quartz

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.
