Kallas: Understandable why Ukraine targets Russia's oil revenues
Russia derives a large share of the revenue that enables it to continue its military aggression against Ukraine from oil sales, so it is understandable that Ukraine wants to disrupt those revenues.
On October 15, Russian drone attacks killed at least 17 people and injured 67 across Ukraine, according to regional authorities. Kirovohrad Oblast suffered the most significant attack, with three killed and six injured, reportedly due to Russian strikes on Kropyvnytskyi and critical infrastructure. President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of deliberately escalating attacks following sanctions relief and pressure attempts.
Ukraine's Air Force claimed to have neutralized 536 of the 850 Shahed-type drones used against them. Russian attacks targeted critical infrastructure, transport, logistics, residential buildings, and warehouses, leaving constant waves of drones in Ukraine's skies. In Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, three killed and three injured, while Dnipropetrovsk's regional governor reported Novooleksandrivka and Pavlohrad casualties.
Volyn Oblast saw six killed and 12 injured when a Russian drone crashed into Lutsk, destroying the Eurogroup warehouse and causing a large fire. Rivne Oblast reported eight injured after a Russian drone crashed, and Kyiv Oblast reported four injured. Donetsk Oblast suffered three killed and eight injured, while Kharkiv Oblast reported nine injured.
Kherson Oblast saw one killed and five injured, and Zaporizhzhia Oblast reported seven injured from Russian attacks. Ternopil Oblast saw five injured after a drone struck a manufacturing enterprise. Eastern Sumy Oblast experienced no casualties or injuries but extensive property damage due to air raid alerts.
