The Financial Times reported on Friday The United States called on Ukraine not to attack Russian oil refineries and other energy infrastructure because they fear this will lead to higher energy prices and further escalation of the war.

This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olha Stefaniszina Oil refineries located on Russian territory are a legitimate target for Ukraine from a military point of view. According to her, in this case, Ukraine is acting in accordance with NATO standards.

Mykhaylo Podolak, advisor to the Chief of Staff of the President of Ukraine, denied that Washington demanded that Ukraine stop attacks on Russian oil infrastructure.

Since the beginning of the year, Ukrainian forces have carried out dozens of effective attacks on important refineries, oil ports and fuel depots. Sources in the State Security Service confirmed this in recent days Successful attacks were carried out on 12 refineries in Russia – said Ukrainska Pravda.

According to Reuters calculations, based on data from industry sources, the percentage reached 13 percent of the total production capacity of the current oil refining units in Russian refineries in emergency closure mode.

Ukraine exposes Russian weaknesses. A specific series of drone attacks on refineries and fuel depots operating in Russia represents a blow to the country's fuel security, destroying the invading army's base, but also a blow to Russian oil interests.
