00:00Ukraine has carried out another major overnight strike deep inside Russia.
00:04According to the Institute for the Study of War,
00:07Ukrainian forces targeted Moscow City and struck the Moscow oil refinery.
00:11It was the second strike on the refinery in just two days.
00:15Russian mill bloggers reacted with concern,
00:18warning that the attacks exposed weaknesses in Russia's air defense network.
00:23ISDW says repeated Ukrainian strikes on heavily defended areas like Moscow
00:28show Moscow's difficulty protecting its own rear territory.
00:31The report also says Russia is importing gasoline from unspecified Asian countries
00:36as domestic shortages continue to worsen.
00:39At the same time, the Kremlin is reportedly preparing to use claims of a Ukrainian strike
00:45on a civilian bus to justify another major missile and drone attack.
00:50Overnight, Russia launched seven Iskander-M or S-400 missiles and 239 drones at Ukraine.
00:58ISW also reported marginal Russian advances in the Slovyansk direction.
01:03The latest assessment shows the war increasingly reaching both the front line and Russia's deep rear.
