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 depends on profits from oil and gas, which make up around 40 percent of state revenue. Last year, Ukraine is trying to shut down the energy industry of Russia, the world's third-largest oil producer.
