Ukraine's Drone Offensive Disables 43% of Russian Oil Capacity — US May Be Targeted Next

In a bold offensive, Ukraine executed its largest drone attack to date, deploying over 430 unmanned aerial vehicles against the Moscow area during the night of July 7. This follows a significant operation on July 4 aimed at St. Petersburg, where the Kronstadt naval facility and an oil terminal, located 900 kilometers from Ukrainian borders, were hit. According to Ukraine's General Staff, approximately 42.74% of Russia's oil refining capabilities have been compromised, leading to fuel shortages in over 40 regions of Russia. Analysts from the US and NATO caution that the disruptions to Russia's war economy could provoke desperate countermeasures, including the potential deployment of long-range weaponry that could threaten US and NATO interests.
