Ukraine has intensified drone strikes against Russian energy infrastructure and tanker ships in the Sea of Azov and Black Sea, aiming to disrupt Moscow’s fuel supply to Crimea. The operation, named Molochka, has hit dozens of vessels and electricity infrastructure, triggering fuel shortages and a broader energy crisis in Russia.
Russia has issued a decree allowing the state to take physical and financial control of facilities that fail to maintain security or repair damage after Ukrainian drone strikes. The move targets fuel, energy, industrial, communications, transport and logistics sites and could see ownership powers transferred to a state agency if safety standards are not met. Officials say the measure is targeted and not a general nationalization.
