- Ukraine claims its attacks have taken out more than half of Russia's oil refining capacity, per AP News reporting.
- Zelenskiy says Ukraine will keep striking Russian refineries in retaliation for Moscow's alleged 'new doctrine' of airstrikes, and separately alleges Putin has ordered military leaders to abandon rules of war.
Why it matters: Ukraine's claim of disabling over half of Russia's refining capacity, if accurate, would directly cut Moscow's domestic fuel supply. Zelenskiy has formally tied further refinery strikes to retaliation for what he calls Russia's new airstrike doctrine, while also alleging Putin ordered military leaders to abandon rules of war.
