Ukraine drone attacks on Russian oil refineries are trying to grind down what fuels Russia 's war machine.
Oil refineries, which turn crude oil into products like gasoline and diesel, are the Kremlin ’s cash cow.
Russia earned an estimated $520 million per day from crude exports and oil product sea exports last month .
Russia claims the strikes make little difference, saying last week that it has improved its air defense.
But the oil sector has classified its production and output data, hinting that situation could be worse than they are letting on.
Ukrainian drones have also hit Russia ’s electricity infrastructure, which could also be a target for long-range missiles.
Russia can still cover its military, domestic, and economic needs and could turn to neighboring Belarus to recuperate the losses.
Sanctions are hindering Russian oil companies' ability to modernize and update their IT systems, which rely on Western technologies.
