Putin Left Reeling as Russia Is Hit Where It Hurts

Vladimir Putin has been dealt yet another brutal blow as Ukraine’s drone bombardment continues.

It continued on Tuesday as drones struck the Afipsky Refinery in the territory of Krasnodar Krai in the southwest of the country for the fifth time, with regional Governor Veniamin Kondratyev writing on Telegram—a popular social media platform in Russia—that fires had broken out in the region.
