Six strategic refineries. Up to 1,600 km behind the front line. One week.
This is Ukraine's answer to Russian terror: a week of strikes on Russia's fuel and energy sector.
Every target is a key facility of the aggressor's defense industry, supplying fuel to Russian occupation forces.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 RUSSIA IS LOSING GROUND AS UKRAINE WIDENS THE SLOVIANSK COUNTEROFFENSIVE
Russian milbloggers report Ukrainian troops have broken into positions in both Yampil and Torske, adding to the pressure already building across the Sloviansk front.
This is no longer one isolated penetration.
Ukraine 🇺🇦 is widening the counteroffensive while Russia 🇷🇺 is reportedly pulling forces from other sectors to contain the 3rd Army Corps. That creates another problem for Moscow: every formation shifted here leaves another part of the front thinner.
The imbalance in readiness may matter even more.
Ukraine has rested formations available for further operations, while many Russian units are already exhausted from months of continuous fighting. A fresh Russian mobilization would not solve that immediately. Training another 200,000 to 300,000 men to a useful standard would take months, and many potential recruits would reportedly have little or no previous military service.
If Moscow keeps transferring experienced troops to stop Ukrainian advances around Sloviansk, it risks creating exactly the conditions Kyiv wants elsewhere.
The front is not just moving.
Russia is being forced to choose where it can afford to be weak.
🧵Ukraine blew up the Russian factory that builds Russia's anti-drone air defenses.
Ten heavy strike drones flew 800km undetected and leveled the Iskra plant.
The factory built to spot and kill drones never saw the drones coming for it. 1/🧵
