> Ukraine’s General Staff says its ongoing campaign against Russian refineries has taken 45% of the country’s refining capacity offline, contributing to a shortage of high-quality fuel. The claim came a day after Ukrainian drones and missiles struck the Moscow Oil Refinery, damaging its main crude distillation units; repairs may take weeks.
