Why this matters

Ukraine's drone attacks on Russian industrial and energy infrastructure are a key strategy to disrupt Russia's war economy and bring the conflict's consequences to Russian territory. These strikes aim to reduce Russia's capacity to produce and supply fuel and chemicals vital for its military, potentially impacting public morale and increasing pressure on the Russian government.
