Ukraine has been steadily ramping up the pressure on Russia's oil and gas sector. Every day, there are more – and ever more intense – strikes on oil refineries, oil depots, and pipeline infrastructure targets. These attacks are aimed at crippling Russia's fuel supply chain, which is critical for both its civilian economy and military operations. The frequency and severity of the strikes have been increasing, indicating a deliberate escalation in Ukraine's strategy. The targets include key nodes in Russia's energy network, such as major refineries and storage facilities. The ongoing campaign raises a pressing question: could Ukraine ultimately cut off Russia's fuel supply? While the full impact remains to be seen, the strikes clearly represent a significant new phase in the conflict, bringing the war directly to Russia's energy heartland.
