Ukraine attacks Russian oil refineries on its own - Pentagon

The US Department of Defense assures that it does not help Kiev strike on refineries in Russia, so the comments "should be addressed to the Ukrainian side". Ukraine strikes the Russian oil refinery exclusively on its own without the help of the United States. The speaker of Pentagon Patrick Ryder said this during a briefing on April 5. "The assistance we provide to Ukraine is intended to protect and return its sovereign territory.

We do not provide any assistance for use outside these borders," he said. He also stressed that Washington does not help Kiev strike on refineries in Russia, so the comments "should be addressed to the Ukrainian side". It should be reminded that NATO stated that the strikes of Ukraine in oil refineries in the territory of the Russian Federation may have led to a violation of more than 15% of the country's capacity.
