Ukraine and Russia have been conducting attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure. These attacks include targeting ports, oil terminals, and a maternity hospital. The attacks are escalating the conflict and raising concerns about disruptions to power supplies and critical services.
Recent attacks have targeted a range of Russian infrastructure, including the Ust-Luga port in the Gulf of Finland, Primorsk oil terminals near the Finnish border, and a major oil refinery in Primorsk.
