Ukraine says it has put more than half of Russia's oil refining capacity out of action through long-range missile strikes.

Ukraine has claimed that its long-range missile strikes over several months have disabled more than half of Russia's oil refining capacity. The assertion marks a substantial escalation in Ukraine's campaign to damage Russian infrastructure supporting its war effort.

The strikes target Russian energy production as part of Ukraine's broader strategy to degrade military supply lines and economic capacity. If accurate, such damage to refining capacity could affect Russia's ability to fuel military operations and civilian transport.
