Ukraine drones strike deep inside Russia, hitting chemical plant and oil terminal

Ukrainian drones hit Russia’s Metafrax Chemicals plant in Perm Krai, halting production with officials saying several drones were shot down and no casualties at that site. A separate strike caused a fire at the Grushovaya oil terminal in Novorossiysk, injuring two people; the terminal is a key Transneft export hub. Kyiv says energy-site strikes are aimed at weakening Russia’s war effort, part of a broader pattern of attacks including an oil refinery hit in Syzran earlier this week. Zelensky credited Ukraine’s Security Service for the Metafrax strike.

Administration Uses Defense Production Act to Fast-Track Energy Infrastructure

The President invoked Section 303 of the Defense Production Act to designate the development, manufacturing, and deployment of large-scale energy and energy-related infrastructure as essential to national defense, citing a national energy emergency and market barriers that prevent timely supply under normal conditions. He waives certain DPA requirements to speed action and authorizes purchases, commitments, and financing to build domestic production capabilities, directing implementation and publication of the determination in the Federal Register.

Ukraine says strikes cut Russia’s oil exports by 880,000 barrels a day, about $100 million in losses

Ukraine claims Russian daily oil shipments fell by about 880,000 barrels due to strikes on energy facilities along the Primorsk–Ust-Luga–Sheskharis–Tuapse axis, equating to roughly $100 million in losses per day; Russia reportedly rerouted flows to Tuapse after damage to the Sheskharis terminal, with a Tuapse refinery fire ongoing. The report also notes temporary easing of some Russian oil sanctions by the US via General License 134B, and describes a deteriorating oil logistics network that Ukraine says is hindering Moscow’s export capability.

The debate intensifies as attacks on energy assets mount across the region, highlighting concerns about civilian harm and the viability of the rules-based international order.

NextEra Wins Presidential Backing for 10 GW of Gas-Fired Hubs

NextEra Energy announced that President Trump approved developing up to 10 gigawatts of natural gas‑powered generation in Texas and Pennsylvania, tied to Japan's $550 billion investment commitment under a U.S.–Japan trade deal. The projects would be owned jointly by Japan and the U.S. and built and operated by NextEra, aiming to meet rising power demand, strengthen the U.S. industrial base, and avoid increasing electricity costs for Americans. Progress depends on definitive documents and successful development, construction and commissioning, with NextEra leveraging its hub strategy (about 30 hubs today, targeting ~40) to accelerate delivery.
