Ukrainian forces have attacked Russian oil refineries this week in an attempt to undermine Russia’s economic stability and reduce its ability to fund military efforts. The attacks come amidst high Russian oil exports and ongoing tensions between the two countries. Despite some damage reported, the refineries appear to have continued operations. The situation adds to the existing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and occurs just before Russia’s presidential election, expected to keep Vladimir Putin in power.
