Ukraine has been defending itself against the Russian war of aggression ordered by Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin for over four years. In recent months, Kiev has increasingly attacked strategically important objects in the Russian hinterland with drones or missiles. This also includes oil industry facilities. Most recently, a refinery in the Russian capital was hit and set on fire. As a result of the attacks, many Russian regions are complaining about a lack of fuel. (sda/dpa)
