Ukraine Is Hitting Russia Faster Than Putin Can Fix It - Professor Gerdes Explains 🇺🇦 [View all]



Ukraine struck two more Russian oil refineries overnight, including one roughly 700 kilometers from Ukraine, while Russia’s own attack failed to deliver the kind of damage Moscow was likely hoping for. This is not random. Ukraine is systematically hitting refineries, fuel depots, logistics, air defense, vehicles, and Crimea’s supply lines faster than Russia can comfortably repair or replace them. The result is a war that is increasingly coming home to Russia through fuel shortages, refinery fires, and battlefield losses Putin cannot easily explain away.
