Ukraine Strikes Russia's Oil Infrastructure and Switches to European Weapons in Donetsk

Ukraine launched counter-strikes against Russia's oil processing facilities and internet-based retail warehouses in Donetsk. The attacks followed a shift by Kyiv to using European-supplied weapons after frustrations with US-provided systems. The strikes are part of Ukraine's broader effort to disrupt Russia's economic and logistical capabilities.

Ukraine conducted targeted strikes on Russia's oil processing infrastructure and warehouses in Donetsk, aiming to cripple Russia's supply chains and economic stability. These attacks mark a strategic shift as Kyiv moves away from US-supplied weapons, which have been unreliable, to European alternatives. The move signals a growing reliance on European military support amid ongoing tensions.
