This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ukraine’s latest aerial attack on Russian soil is its farthest one yet, Ukrainska Pravda reported, with officials saying a drone traveled 930 miles to strike an oil refinery far inside Russia’s borders.
Unnamed sources within Ukraine’s Security Service told the outlet that one of its drones struck a Gazprom refinery in the Russian republic of Bashkortostan on Wednesday.
The region’s head, Radiy Khabirov, confirmed smoke was coming from the refinery but said it was operating as normal, according to Russian state-controlled news agency RIA Novosti.
In early April, Ukraine demonstrated its drones’ increasing reach after Russian officials reported strikes 620 miles inside their country.
Reports claim that the White House has reached out to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to signal its concern that hitting Russia’s oil production will destabilize global energy prices.
But there are some indicators that the pain is trickling through: Russia has announced a six-month gasoline export ban, and Ukraine claims that its attacks have reduced Russian oil production and processing by 12%.
