Ukraine war briefing: Kyiv claims half of Russia’s oil refining capacity destroyed

Ukraine says its recent long‑range missile attacks have damaged roughly fifty percent of Russia’s oil‑refining facilities, a blow it claims is harming the Russian economy. Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged the strikes are costing Russia roughly one percent of its gross domestic product. The briefing marks the 1,686th day of the conflict.
