Ukrainian attacks during the night
During the night, Ukrainians attacked an oil refinery and also an electronics factory. The refinery is located in Perm, about 1,500 km from the border between Ukraine and Russia. The factory, Iksra, which manufactures components for communications and radio technology, is located in the city of Ulyanovsk, about 850 km from the border. Explosions were also reported in Voronezh, where a synthetic rubber manufacturing plant was damaged. There are no reports yet on the extent of the damage.
Russia continues its attacks on Kyiv
Russia in turn continued its attacks on Kyiv, causing fires and damage to several buildings. Fires and damage to several buildings occurred overnight. The attacks consisted of both missiles and drones.
The shadow fleet
Europe has intensified its crackdowns on the Russian shadow fleet, forcing many of them to choose to sail under the Russian flag. It becomes easier to compel them to comply with sanctions, for example by denying them access to ports for unloading and loading, etc. At the same time, the downside is that it also gives them increased protection on international waters. Unregistered vessels can be inspected precisely because of that suspicion, but if the registration is correct, other reasons are required to carry out a raid.
The ships previously sailed under open registries (Panama, etc.), but partly because Europe is now cracking down harder, these registries have started to expel the shadow ships. This forces the ships to either register as Russian or simply sail under a false flag. The latter makes it legally much easier to carry out raids against them on international waters.
Regardless of how the ships choose to proceed, it will be harder for them to get away.
According to a report, 107 ships, half of the shadow fleet, have been forced to register under the Russian flag.

Comment:
90 localized attacks out of a total of 236 leaves 146 unlocalized, resulting in a ratio of 146 / 90 ≈ 1.62.
A somewhat higher number of drones but still far from 10,000, which is the average over the last quarter.

What do you think about diesel? Of course, prices started to rise because Trump messed up the Middle East. But continued attacks on refineries risk pushing prices even higher, and when transportation and food production face problems, could it turn against Zelensky? Or does Russian diesel only have a marginal effect? For Europe, it could become a problem if the US restricts exports. On one hand, it is existential for Ukraine to force the Russians to their knees, but on the other hand, they still need the world’s support. Or maybe they don’t need the world’s support as much anymore.
