Attacks on Russia's refineries: Ex-general advises Ukraine to ignore Biden's advice. According to insiders, Washington wants an end to Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil refineries.

The reason: rising oil prices. A former US general thinks this is a “terrible recommendation”. Russia's war machine also depends on profits from oil and gas, which make up around 40 percent of Russian state revenue. Last year, falling oil prices created a hole in Putin's war chest. Now Ukraine is trying to shut down the energy industry of Russia.
