0:00 / 0:48

Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil refineries have caused record-high gasoline prices in Russia, despite a government export ban. At least ten key energy facilities have been hit this month, impacting over 10% of Russia's oil production capacity. This has led to gasoline shortages in several regions, including annexed Crimea. While the Russian military's fuel supply is less affected, consumers face rising prices and analysts predict continued high costs for at least a month. Ukraine aims to disrupt Russia's war effort and counter the narrative of inevitable victory through these attacks, also unveiling a new domestically produced cruise missile to enhance its long-range capabilities.
