Ukraine to Increase Strikes on Russian Oil Refineries in Response to Putin's 'New Doctrine' on Bombings

Ukraine plans to increase strikes on Russian oil refineries as retaliation for Putin's 'new doctrine' on bombings. The strikes are intended to target resources that finance Russia's military machinery. The decision comes after Moscow's attacks on Ukraine's electrical grid and civilian infrastructure, which Ukraine claims are part of a broader strategy to destabilize the country before winter. Both ukrinform and infobae reported that Ukraine's actions are a direct response to Putin's 'new doctrine' on bombings. The sources agree that the strikes are meant to disrupt the financial resources supporting Russia's military operations. However, infobae added that the attacks are also a retaliation for the continuous attacks on Ukraine's electrical grid and civilian infrastructure. The sources do not diverge on the main facts, but infobae provided additional context about the timing of the attacks, linking them to the pre-winter period. Both outlets emphasized the strategic intent behind Ukraine's actions.
