| Massive Ukraine Drone Swarm Hits Moscow Refinery, Shuts Down Flights |
| 2026-06-19 |
| [RedState] With much of the world's attention focused on Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, we must also remember that the Russo-Ukrainian War is still going on. Such a reminder came on Thursday, when reports surfaced of a retaliatory strike on a Moscow-area oil refinery by a Ukrainian drone swarm, which set that refinery ablaze. The Ukrainian strike comes after major Russian attacks on the Ukranian capital. Ukraine struck a major Moscow oil refinery Thursday for a second time in a week, sending huge plumes of black smoke over the capital and disrupting hundreds of flights at its airports in one of its biggest drone attacks since Russia’s full-scale invasion over four years ago, officials said. Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Russian oil facilities, aiming to cut Moscow’s revenue for the war and make Russians feel the consequences of the invasion. Some areas have reported fuel shortages. The attack by dozens of drones came hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had held "an important coordination call" with the presidents of the United States and France and had won key pledges of further support from this week’s G7 summit. "If Ukraine is going to burn, your Moscow will burn too," Zelenskyy said, adding that the attack was part of Kyiv’s effort to bring Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table. "It is time to end the aggression, time to end this war." |
