Russia says Ukraine resumed strikes on refineries; drones hit 3 plants

The renewed targeting of Russian refining and gas-chemical infrastructure matters less for any single strike than for what it signals about the durability of the apparent pause in such attacks — a pause the Kremlin now says has ended. This affects refined-product supply and export flows out of Russia, and by extension the global product markets that absorb them. Whether the strikes continue at this pace, and whether they draw a retaliatory response against Ukrainian energy assets, is the open question worth watching.
