It is noted that according to Reuters, Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries have led to the shutdown of about 14% of all Russian oil refining capacity.
“The April 2 strikes are the first Ukrainian strikes on Tatarstan, and the distance of the targets from Ukraine’s borders represents a significant inflection in Ukraine’s demonstrated capability to conduct long-range strikes far into the Russian rear,” the statement said.
Analysts noted that such strikes “are a necessary component of Ukraine’s campaign to use asymmetric means to degrade industries that supply and support the Russian military.”
