Ukrainian drones have successfully executed a significant attack deep within Russian territory — targeting the Yaroslavl Oil Refinery, a key energy facility for Vladimir Putin that processes fifteen million tons of crude oil annually. The assault ignited large fires throughout the site and represents the latest action in a persistent drone offensive that has now incapacitated approximately 40 percent of Russia's oil export capacity. According to Reuters, this is the most significant disruption to oil supply in contemporary Russian history. The repercussions are felt directly by American motorists: a reduction in Russian and Iranian oil translates to a tighter global supply and increased gasoline prices across the United States. Ukraine is striking Russia where it matters most — in Putin's finances. However, it's Americans who feel the pinch at the gas station.
