A series of drone attacks have been launched against key energy infrastructure sites in Russia, with the latest incident causing a fire at an oil refinery in Krasnodar and injuring two workers at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. The attacks, attributed to Ukrainian forces, are part of a broader strategy aimed at undermining Moscow's war efforts and reducing financial revenue for Russia. On Monday, Ukraine reportedly struck facilities at the Afipsky oil refinery in Rostov Oblast, as well as a gas processing plant in Astrakhan. In response, Russian forces have retaliated by targeting cargo vessels and infrastructure facilities used for unloading military cargo in Ukrainian ports. The escalating attacks have resulted in a fuel crisis in Ukraine, with Ukrainian air strikes damaging a MiG-29 fighter jet at Millerovo airbase on Monday. Amidst this ongoing conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree allowing the state to take temporary control of critical infrastructure deemed inadequately protected from attack. The escalating tensions have led to calls for negotiations from British Prime Minister Andy Burnham and French President Emmanuel Macron, while Finnish President Alexander Stubb urged Ukraine's allies to help expand its ability to strike deeply inside Russia. These developments highlight the increasing global focus on energy infrastructure as a potential battlefield in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
