Ukraine launched a sweeping drone attack on Russian regions on Wednesday, causing a fire at Rosneft’s biggest oil refinery in what President Vladimir Putin said was an attempt to disrupt Russia’s presidential election.

Russia and Ukraine have both used drones to strike critical infrastructure, military installations and troop concentrations in their more than two-year war, with Kyiv hitting Russian refineries and energy facilities in recent months.

Russian authorities reported another major attack by Ukrainian drones a day after a Ukrainian attack damaging Lukoil’s NORSI refinery in Russian territory.

  • THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: After Marjorie Taylor Greene may have baited President Biden into misidentifying murder victim Laken Riley as “Lincoln” (or at best she made exactly the same mistake the President did), Trump has autographed a photo of the poor woman in which he has written her name — and MISSPELLED IT.

No one owes her an apology. But I suggest she should commits to some soul-searching. https://t.co/65UdJw9faC
