Ukraine has stepped up drone attacks on Russian oil refineries and exporting infrastructure, striking the most important sector of president Vladimir Putin’s economy to show it can fight back as the United States seeks to broker a peace deal.

The attacks disrupted Moscow’s oil processing and exports, created gasoline shortages in some parts of Russia and came in response to Moscow’s advances on the front lines and its pounding of Ukraine’s gas and power facilities.
