> Ukraine struck Russian oil refineries at least 21 times in August, the highest monthly total since Russia’s full-scale invasion began, Bloomberg reported. EA Analytics estimates Russian refining fell to about 3.8 million barrels a day, its lowest level in more than 20 years, while gasoline and diesel output also dropped sharply. Analysts warn production could fall further if attacks continue.
