Ukraine introduced a fierce wave of attacks with unmanned aircraft, oil and crime refineries on Sunday.
In the past weeks, Zelensky’s forces have carried out repeated aerial bombardments of strategic industrial sites in Russia, causing havoc and substantial damage.
The objective seems to be interrupting the arms and fuel to the Putin army in Ukraine.
A major fire broke out again at the Ryazan Oil Refinery after it was attacked for the second time in two days.
The refinery is one of the largest in Russia, with a capacity to process 17 million metric tonnes of oil per year.

Emergency services had just managed to extinguish a previous fire after drones hit the depot on Friday.
The images published on social networks and verified through the Telegram Astra channel show a huge flame ball emerging on the refinery.

“In the morning, the on-duty fire weapons of the Black Sea Fleet in the northwestern part of the Black Sea destroyed two unmanned boats travelling in the direction of the Crimean Peninsula,” they claimed.
This occurs in the midst of reports that the Putin Air Force threw a 250 kilograms bomb on one of its villages in the Belgorod region.
The Telegram channel Astra estimated that, overall, Russian army planes dropped at least mega bombs on their own villages and cities.
