Daily Dumpling: Russia attacks power plants and Ukraine strikes refineries in simultaneous assaults.

As Russian missiles once again struck Ukraine's energy grid, Ukrainian drones retaliated by targeting oil and gas refineries and other key facilities inside Russia. The Ukrainian Air Force intercepted a significant number of Russian missiles, but the attack still caused substantial damage to power plants and critical infrastructure in multiple regions. The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to have shot down Ukrainian drones, while the Security Service of Ukraine confirmed targeting military and infrastructural facilities in Russia. Despite Russia's efforts to suppress information and criticism, the impact of Ukrainian strikes on oil and gas facilities is evident, disrupting a significant portion of Russia's oil refinery capacity. Ukraine plans to continue targeting Russia's energy infrastructure, prompting concerns from the Biden administration about potential escalation and global energy market impacts. The attacks on oil and gas facilities aim to undermine Russia's wartime economy and military capabilities. However, Russia's assaults on Ukraine's energy grid are also taking a heavy toll, further exacerbating the suffering of civilians and threatening the country's ability to function. Ukraine seeks urgent military assistance, particularly advanced air defense systems and munitions, to defend against Russian ballistic missiles. The country's diplomatic efforts are focused on securing additional support to address its pressing defense needs.
