Russia imports gasoline from India for the first time amid Ukrainian attacks on refineries

Since the beginning of 2022, Ukraine's Defense Forces have successfully neutralized over 260,000 Russian-made drones, according to the country's Defense Ministry. This significant tally underscores the critical role technology plays in contemporary warfare, enabling Ukraine to protect its service personnel and civilians. Out of the total, approximately 195,000 drones were fixed-wing models, while 66,000 were multirotor drones.

The month of July witnessed a surge in Ukrainian forces' ability to take down Russian drones, with 40,438 fixed-wing drones and 19,945 multirotor drones destroyed. This upward trend continued in August, with Ukrainian air defenses confirming the destruction of over 445,000 Russian aerial targets since the start of the conflict on February 24, 2022. This milestone was celebrated on August 2, coinciding with Ukraine's Air Force Day.
