Russia Ukraine War: Kyiv Targets Russian Oil Infrastructure in Crimea | Vantage with Palki Sharma
As the Russia-Ukraine war escalates, Kyiv continues to intensify its attack on Russian energy infrastructure. In the latest attack, Ukraine claims to have struck a large oil terminal off the coast of the occupied Crimean Peninsula. Russia illegally annexed the peninsula in 2014. The Russian defence ministry said that 12 Ukrainian drones were shot down over the peninsula overnight out of a total of 21 launched by Kyiv. In a statement announcing the attack, Ukraine's general staff said that oil products shipped from the terminal were being used to "meet the needs of the Russian occupation army". By repeatedly targeting Moscow’s energy sector, Kyiv aims to dent Russia’s revenue sources, which fund the ongoing war.
