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.
