In a clear message to Putin stooge and demented liar the Malignant Fascist, Ukraine hit an important oil terminal in St. Petersburg with a massive drone attack, just as the MF has been pressuring Ukraine to cease hitting Russia's oil facilities. From Politico:
"Ukraine struck an oil terminal in St. Petersburg Sunday morning in what Russian state media called 'one of the biggest drone attacks of the year.'
Alexander Beglov, governor of St. Petersburg, said on Telegram Sunday that the city underwent a 'massive”'overnight attack from Ukrainian drones. 'The Ministry of Emergency Situations continues to extinguish fires at the Petersburg Oil Terminal, the Ruchyi oil depot, and industrial warehouses in the Kolpino district,' he said, adding that one person died and several others were injured in the incident.
The drone strikes come as Kyiv and Moscow ramp up attacks on each other’s infrastructure. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said last week he had ordered the resumption of strikes on Russian oil refineries following a three-day pause after U.S. President Donald Trump declared he had brokered an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia."
The MF has been trying to shift blame for high oil and diesel prices on Ukraine's bombardment of Russian facilities, when it's his misbegotten war on Iran and the restriction of oil and other materials moving through the Strait of Hormuz. His purchase of Russian diesel, his suspension of sanctions on Russia, and his apparent order to restrict Ukraine's use of the Starshield / Starlink system show clearly that he's sided with the Russian war criminals.
