The Financial Times reports that Ukraine is striking Russian energy infrastructure at an unprecedented rate. Since the beginning of 2026, Russian oil refineries have been hit at least 194 times —11 times more than during the same period last year. "Ukraine has made a technological breakthrough that has allowed it to produce more long-range drones and increase overall mass production," said Stefan Meister of the German Council on Foreign Relations. In May alone, analysts at Rochan Consulting recorded 16 successful strikes on Russian oil refineries, a historic monthly record. According to the FT, Russia has data on the interception of at least 64,000 Ukrainian drones in the first six months of 2026 over its territory and eastern Ukraine. Almost half of these reported interceptions occurred in the last two months: 14,195 drones in May and 17,832 in June. Even if these data are coming from Moscow, they demonstrate the scale of the strain on Russian air defenses. The data obtained indicate that the intensification of Kyiv's air campaign is placing unprecedented strain on Russian air defenses, greatly complicating Moscow's ability to protect the critical energy and military resources that sustain its war machine. Russia is forced to expend significant resources on strengthening its air defenses, but it will struggle to produce sufficient systems and interceptors. The air strike campaign is already hitting Russian refineries, logistics, warehouses, military facilities, and energy sectors. It is also shattering the Kremlin's illusion that the war can be fought far away, unaffecting everyday life in Russia. Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure have shattered the Kremlin's illusion of normal life during the war. Ruslan Pukhov, director of the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies in Moscow, stated that Putin made another "fatal strategic error": he assumed that time was only on Russia's side, but over the years, Ukraine has established mass production of long-range strike capabilities. Now the war is increasingly coming to the Russian rear through attacks on oil refineries, a fuel crisis, queues at gas stations, and overloaded air defenses. "At a fundamental level, we see that Putin made yet another fatal strategic mistake in this war, somehow believing that time was only on his side. He failed to force Ukraine to capitulate, but he gave it enough time to establish a mass production of 'deep strikes,'" Pukhov said. "Ukraine is not simply conducting more strikes than it did a year ago. The campaign has transformed from a relatively narrowly focused operation against oil infrastructure into a broader strategic interdiction campaign aimed at simultaneously weakening Russia's energy, logistics, industrial, and export systems," said Konrad Muzyka , director of Rochan Consulting. According to the FT, Ukraine has sharply escalated attacks on the Russian energy sector in 2026. Analysts at Rochan Consulting have recorded at least 194 attacks on Russian refineries since the beginning of the year—11 times more than in the same period last year. In May, the number of successful strikes reached a monthly record of 16. Pukhov believes that Russia will have to spend significant resources on strengthening its air defenses, but it may struggle to produce sufficient systems and interceptors. This creates a new problem for Moscow: defending its vast territory is becoming increasingly expensive, while Ukrainian strikes are becoming more widespread.
