Putin Acknowledges Ukrainian Attacks Damaging Russian Economy

Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin has acknowledged that recent intensified attacks by Ukraine are damaging the Russian economy and society. 'Ukraine is increasingly targeting Russia's oil refineries, storage facilities, and pipelines, as well as fuel supplies in Crimea,' Putin said.

This statement by Putin on Friday came in the context of Ukraine intensifying attacks on Russian infrastructure in recent weeks. Ukraine claimed to have attacked a significant oil refinery in Nizhnekamsk, Russia, the previous night. However, Putin claimed that these attacks would not bring division within Russia and that the economy would soon be restored.
