Ukraine's drone drive targets Russia's energy network amid fuel shortages

Ukraine launched one of its broadest drone offensives against Russia’s maritime and energy infrastructure, claiming hits on 21 vessels over three days, along with strikes on refineries and fuel facilities that helped drive diesel shortages in Russia. The campaign coincided with Zelenskyy’s Ankara meeting with Trump, where they discussed a Patriot interceptor deal and a potential drone agreement, while Russia continued bombardments of Ukraine and moved to restrict domestic fuel exports to ease shortages.
