Ukraine strikes Russian oil infrastructure in a coordinated blow to Lukoil’s operations in the Caspian Sea. The V. Filanovsky, Yuri Korchagin, and Valery Grayfe platforms sustained direct hits. This operation aims to weaken Russia’s economic capacity to fund the war. By hitting multiple platforms simultaneously, Ukraine maximizes the disruption to Russia’s oil output.
The platforms were targeted in December. Damage assessment is ongoing. Lukoil has not commented. This strike targets Russia’s oil production capabilities. The coordinated nature of the attack suggests careful planning and high-level execution.
A Buk-M3 air defense system was destroyed in Luhansk. This tactical victory weakens Russian air defenses. A warehouse in Kherson was also hit, disrupting logistics. These strikes degrade Russia’s military strength and support the broader strategic goals.
The energy war continues with attacks on infrastructure. Russia targets Ukrainian power plants, while Ukraine hits Russian oil assets. This strategy aims to inflict economic damage and erode the enemy’s will to fight.
Voronezh was hit by a drone attack, resulting in casualties. 17 drones were neutralized. This strike on Russian territory demonstrates Ukraine’s reach and challenges the security of the Russian homeland.
