Ukrainian drones hit Russian oil ports again, hitting Transneft’s infrastructure—world’s largest pipeline firm, Moscow-based, key to Russia’s oil flow.
On the fourth anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the UK announced nearly 300 new sanctions, including targeting Transneft and Russia's shadow fleet of oil tankers, aiming to weaken Moscow's energy revenues and pressure Putin's war effort.
Britain imposed sanctions on Georgian broadcasters Imedi and PosTV, accusing them of spreading false narratives about Ukraine and Russia. The measures include asset freezes and ownership restrictions. Georgia has shifted toward authoritarianism since the Ukraine invasion, balancing aid to Ukraine with economic ties to Russia. The broadcasters deny wrongdoing.
Ukrainian drone attacks have damaged Russian oil infrastructure, including ports and refineries, disrupting about 40% of Russia's oil exports. The strikes follow recent escalations and are part of Ukraine's efforts to weaken Russia's war financing. The attacks impact global energy markets amid rising tensions.
