Precision Strikes: Ukraine Targets the Heart of Russian Refineries

Ukraine is changing its strategy. Instead of hitting entire oil plants, its drones are targeting specific, hard-to-repair parts. The goal is to stop production with minimal effort. The Washington Post examined 54 drone strikes. More than half of them damaged the units that start turning crude oil into fuel. These units are called distillation columns. Sanctions make these parts difficult for Russia to replace. By focusing on these key components, Ukraine can cause long-term damage to Russia's oil industry.
