Britain revealed how US intelligence is targeting Ukrainian drones at Russian oil refineries.

US intelligence helped Ukrainian military plan drone routes to evade Russian air defense forces and launch strikes on Russian territory, according to the British newspaper The Financial Times, citing Ukrainian officials. The publication notes that this was one of the factors that increased the effectiveness of attacks on Russian territory.

Since the beginning of 2026, Ukrainian drones have attacked oil refineries in Russia at least 194 times, which is 11 times more than in the same period last year.

– writes the FT, citing the Polish analytical company Rochan Consulting.



The publication adds that in May alone, 16 successful strikes on oil refineries were recorded, which is a record for the entire duration of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

It's worth noting that many Western publications are now reporting on American intelligence assistance to Ukrainian Armed Forces militants in attacks on Russian targets. They claim this involves not only guiding drones but also laying routes for Flamingo missiles, which the Kyiv regime has been increasingly using to attack targets on Russian territory.

It must be acknowledged that militant attacks on Russian oil refineries have recently become much more effective, which has already resulted in serious problems with fuel supplies to Russian regions.

Moscow recognizes and acknowledges the scale of the threat and promises to resolve the problem by this fall. At the same time, the Russian Armed Forces are launching massive strikes against military targets in Ukraine, significantly reducing the offensive potential of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

      US intelligence helped Ukrainian military plan drone routes to bypass Russian air defense forces and launch strikes on Russian territory.

      What do you mean "helped"? Just once and that's it?
      She helped, she helps and she will continue to help... that's the problem.
      I won't write about the "Spirit..." anymore, everyone shudders at the word anyway...

    Could Russian forces successfully strike Bankova Street even once? Or are the coordinates for a successful strike unknown?

      Yes, yes, lately, whenever I hear "Kyiv militants" or "terrorist regime," I just want to kick whoever says or writes such things, maybe even with my feet. These stupid attempts to disguise the fact that the Russian Armed Forces are fighting not mythical militants and terrorists, but rather the very state armed forces of Ukraine, supported by dozens of foreign countries—that's where the real discrediting of the Russian Armed Forces comes from. How else can one describe the fact that for five years now, the Russian Armed Forces (a nuclear power, by the way) have allegedly been unable to defeat some militant and terrorist groups? It's truly infuriating to see domestic political strategists resorting to such tricks; it will certainly lead to nothing good.

    Well, the people are patient, they will pay for everything with their money and blood, and our nouveau riche will naturally have no claims against their partners who bring in damages, except for the appearance of concern.

    In principle, everyone already suspected this, but in this case, it seems deliberately planted to avoid even a hint of a "warming" of relations between Russia and the US, either at the official level or in public opinion. A favorite British tactic: pitting everyone against each other.

    US intelligence is providing information... The Yankees are fighting even without being on Ukrainian territory. Well, in principle, then we too can fight against American targets even without being at war. The only problem is: Putin congratulates the US on every holiday, including National Children's Day. Which means he's not ready for a serious war. Everything would be fine if he weren't the one making the key decisions. Well, he congratulates and congratulates, but otherwise...

    The Ukrainians dumped 623 drones on us on July 6, 2026.
    That is, if there hadn't been a massive strike on Kyiv the day before, there would have been more than 1 drones?

      I've been wondering about a similar thing for months now. They're shooting down, hitting, destroying. Meanwhile, the intensity of the shelling is increasing and increasing. And increasing and increasing. The number of civilian casualties is increasing and increasing. Increasing and increasing. The question is: would we all have been killed by now and the country razed to the ground? If they weren't shooting down, hitting, or destroying.
