Ukrainian drones set fire to Russian oil depot after Moscow launches...

Key Highlights

• Ukraine’s General Staff said Saturday it had struck the Zhutovskaya oil depot overnight.
• In a statement on Telegram, it said the depot is supplying fuel to Russian forces, adding that damage was being assessed.
• Ukraine’s long-range drone strikes on Russian energy sites aim to deprive Moscow of the oil export revenue it needs to pursue its full-scale invasion.
• Russia wants to cripple the Ukrainian power grid, seeking to deny civilians access to heat, light and running water in what Kyiv officials say is an attempt to “weaponise winter.” Saturday’s attack came the day after Russia bombarded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles overnight into Friday, according to Ukrainian officials, killing at least four people in the capital.
• For only the second time in the nearly 4-year-old war, it used a powerful new hypersonic missile that struck western Ukraine in a clear warning to Kyiv’s NATO allies.
