The city has already been the target of several Ukrainian drone attacks and is home to an oil refinery. Ukraine has been defending itself against a Russian war of aggression for more than four years. In recent months, it has expanded its counter-attacks into the Russian hinterland and they are becoming increasingly visible. Kiev is systematically targeting refineries, pumping stations and export ports of the Russian oil industry. In this way, Ukraine wants to disrupt the supply of fuel for the Russian army and reduce Russia's income from the energy business, which is important for Moscow's war chest. The number of victims and the extent of the damage are disproportionate to the devastating consequences of Russian attacks in Ukraine.
