With a drone strike on Russia’s biggest oil refinery in Omsk—more than 2,500 kilometers from Ukraine’s border—Ukraine crossed a strategic milestone.

This is the culmination of a campaign designed to steadily erode the financial foundation of Russia’s war effort.![Black smoke billows from the area of Gazprom Neftâs Moscow oil refinery, located on the southeastern outskirts of Moscow, on June 18, 2026.
