- Ukraine claims it has destroyed more than half of Russia's oil refining capacity, a claim echoed across AP and The Guardian coverage of Kyiv's assertion
- Zelensky says Ukraine will continue hitting Russian refineries as retaliation for what he calls Moscow's "new doctrine" of airstrikes against Ukraine
Why it matters: If Ukraine's figures hold, taking out over half of Russia's refining capacity directly squeezes domestic fuel supply and the export earnings that help bankroll the invasion. Zelensky is openly framing the refinery campaign as a direct, named retaliation for Russia's escalated bombing doctrine.
