11 To keep the risks low, the United States should neither help Ukraine proceed with these attacks nor even publicly encourage them. But nor should it try to dissuade Kyiv from this course of action. Despite the U.S. Congress’s recent approval of $61 billion in military aid, Ukraine is at its most fragile point in more than two years. Strikes on russian refineries alone will not force Moscow to capitulate, but they do make the war more difficult and expensive for russia—and so, if nothing else, when the time comes for negotiations, they may push the Kremlin to make concessions | 1 | 0 | Loading... |

The main points:
Scope and Impact of Strikes - Starting from October, Ukraine has conducted over 20 strikes on russian refineries, significantly reducing russia's oil-refining capacity. By March, around 14 percent of russia's refining capacity was destroyed, prompting russia to impose a six-month ban on gasoline exports.
Objective and Criticism - The strikes aim to disrupt fuel supplies to the russian military and cut off export revenues used for the war effort. However, the Biden administration has criticized these attacks out of concern for potential global oil price increases.
Effect on Global Energy Markets - Contrary to concerns, the strikes primarily affect russia's ability to refine oil, not its extraction or export volume. With reduced refining capacity, russia is forced to export more crude oil, potentially lowering global prices. The attacks have not significantly impacted international crude oil prices so far.
Impact on russia - The strikes have caused a decline in diesel and gasoline production in russia, leading to domestic fuel shortages and price hikes. The russian government may need to import fuel from neighboring countries and consider lifting restrictions on low-quality gasoline usage, which could strain its military capacity and incur economic and political costs.
Effectiveness of Strategy - Despite criticism, Ukraine's campaign has proven effective in inflicting economic and logistical pressure on russia, achieving objectives that Western sanctions have struggled to deliver. The strikes have highlighted the limitations of the price cap on russian oil exports and underscored the interconnectedness of the EU and G-7 shipping industry with russia's exports.
Ukrainian strikes on russian oil refineries are now doing what the sanctions regime has not. Without compromising global energy supply or driving up prices, the attacks are eating into russian revenues and curtailing russia’s ability to turn crude oil into the kinds of fuel that tanks and planes need to run. As long as Ukrainian forces avoid hitting crude oil pipelines or major crude oil export terminals, they can maintain this balance.
Ukrainian strikes on russian refineries are now doing what the sanctions regime has not.
The current strategy comes with limited risks. Ukrainian drones have generally been hitting their targets at night, causing few, if any, civilian casualties. As long as Ukraine continues to weigh potential harms to noncombatants every time it approves a strike, it should stay on the right side of international law. Targeting an industry that directly contributes to russian military power is a reasonable wartime measure—one that past belligerents, such as the United States, have employed before, including in its recent operations against the Islamic State.
Ukrainian strikes on russian oil refineries also seem unlikely to widen the conflict. At the very least, russia will struggle to escalate in kind, given its long-running and far broader campaign to destroy Ukraine’s energy infrastructure: its forces destroyed Ukraine’s Kremenchuk oil refinery within weeks of the 2022 invasion, and the Ukrainian energy minister has said that russian strikes earlier this year hit up to 80 percent of Ukraine’s conventional thermal power plants. Rather than threatening escalation in response to Ukraine’s strikes, the Kremlin has tended to play down their effects to avoid embarrassment. | 82 | 0 | Loading... |

17 The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has exposed agents of the russian Federal Security Service (FSB) who were planning the assassination of Zelensky, Malyush, and Budanov.
One of the network's tasks was to find perpetrators among military personnel close to the Ukrainian president's security detail. In addition to Volodymyr Zelensky, they planned to eliminate the head of the SBU Vasyl Maliuk, the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Kyrylo Budanov, and other officials. The network included two colonels from the State Guard Department of Ukraine.
The liquidation of the head of the GUR, Kyrylo Budanov, was planned to take place before Easter. The enemy's plan was as follows: an initially recruited agent was to observe the movement of the target and provide information to the enemy. Based on the coordinates of the building where the official was supposed to be located, a missile strike was planned. Then, the remaining individuals at the scene were to be attacked by a drone. After that, the russians planned to launch another missile, including to destroy traces of drone usage.
The agent's weaponry was provided by a colonel from the State Security Department, who personally brought FPV drones, RPG-7 charges, and MON-90 anti-personnel mines to Kiev. The Security Service of Ukraine documented the criminal actions of the suspects step by step and detained them.
Only a limited circle of individuals knew about our special operation, and I personally controlled its progress. The terrorist act, which was supposed to be a gift to putin for his inauguration, indeed turned out to be a failure for the russian intelligence services. But we must not forget – the enemy is strong and experienced; we cannot underestimate them. We will continue to work proactively to ensure that every traitor receives the deserved judicial sentences," noted SBU head Vasyl Maliuk.
Once again, the russian FSB has confirmed its status as a terrorist organization, as it was the employees of the 9th Department of the Operational Information Department of the 5th Service who supervised the organization of the terrorist act.
The perpetrators have been subjected to searches, during which the corresponding means of attack were identified and seized, along with other evidence of criminal activity. The suspects have been placed in custody pending trial. They face life imprisonment. | 112 | 0 | Loading... |

The article discusses how russians are adapting to and accepting the ongoing war in Ukraine. Despite initial shock and anger, many russians have come to live with the conflict as part of their daily lives. Nationalist sentiments, combined with a crackdown on dissent, have fostered a sense of unity and support for putin, reducing domestic pressure to end the war.
The kremlin is utilizing the conflict to reshape russian society, promoting a narrative of defending against the West and glorifying military actions as heroic endeavors reminiscent of past victories. This narrative permeates various aspects of life, from education to media, fostering a collective sense of purpose and solidarity. Economic sanctions have failed to significantly impact public sentiment due to a perceived financial upside to the war, including increased job opportunities and government support for those involved in military efforts.
Despite some dissent and opposition, especially among intellectuals and activists, kremlin repression has stifled public protests and criticism. The fear of persecution has led to self-censorship and a culture of informing on dissenters. Navalny's death and the lack of sustained protests indicate a sense of hopelessness among those opposed to putin's regime.
Support for peace talks fluctuates, often rising only when russian forces face setbacks in Ukraine. However, there is a prevailing sentiment among many russians to retain control of occupied territories in Ukraine. | 108 | 0 | Loading... |
