Infrastructure hit in 10th mass strike since October 2025, over 220 total attacks
Ukraine's drone campaign has hit 25 of Russia's 33 major refineries. In late May, it expanded to oil pipeline stations and shadow fleet tankers in the Black Sea. The Volgograd refinery, which supplies fuel to Russia's Black Sea Fleet, halted production entirely after a May 29 strike; three shadow fleet tankers were struck near Turkey's coast a day earlier.

Primary target of Russian infrastructure attacks
Russian drone operators watched a bus full of miners leaving their shift in Ternivka on February 1, 2026, deliberately striking the civilian vehicle and killing 15 despite recognizing it as non-military. The attack came on the exact day a Trump-brokered pause expired, drawing international condemnation. EU Ambassador Katarina Mathernova questioned whether explosions and dead civilians represent a ceasefire.

Endured 230+ attacks since Feb 2022; facilities hit repeatedly in Feb 2026 strikes amid ongoing campaign[3]
Russia intensified strikes on Ukraine's energy grid in January and early February 2026, killing at least 13 people and cutting power to 1.2 million properties. President Trump brokered a brief pause that expired February 1. Following attacks on January 9 and 13 that deployed over 500 drones and missiles, Russia struck again on January 24-25, February 2-3, and February 24-26 with hundreds of drones and missiles, including rare ballistic missiles. Targets included power plants, substations, and nuclear-linked infrastructure in Kharkiv, Odesa, Kyiv, and western Ukraine. The strikes caused repeated blackouts for tens of thousands during subzero temperatures and reduced generation capacity to 14 gigawatts—less than half pre-invasion levels.

Main private energy producer heavily targeted by Russian strikes
Since October 2022, Russia has waged a parallel war on Ukraine's electricity, heating and transport systems, launching repeated waves of missiles and drones at power plants, high-voltage substations, rail hubs and ports. The campaign intensified in winter 2025–26 with near-daily barrages. These destroyed 70% of generating capacity, forced a formal energy emergency on January 15, 2026, and left the grid meeting only 60% of national electricity needs amid temperatures as low as minus 20°C.
