This week, Ukraine carried out a series of successful drone strikes on Russian oil refineries in Samara, Krasnodar Krai, and near Moscow, causing significant fires and panic among the occupiers. Fierce fighting continues on the front lines near Pokrovsk, Vovchansk, and Kupiansk, where Russian troops are suffering heavy losses without noticeable success, while Ukrainian defenders are holding their positions. Ukraine is also expanding its use of naval drones, striking Russian tankers in the Black Sea, which is increasing economic pressure on Moscow. Despite massive Russian missile and drone attacks on energy infrastructure, Ukraine is responding quickly with painful strikes and maintaining high morale.
