Russia canceled its annual St Petersburg Navy Day parade for the second straight year because of the threat of Ukrainian drone attacks.
Kyiv’s long-range strike capabilities are increasingly hurting Russia far from the front lines: Moscow’s Victory Day parade in Red Square in May was significantly scaled back because of the possibility of attacks, St Petersburg’s oil terminal was damaged during a showpiece economic forum in June, and an e-commerce logistics hub in the same city came under fire last week.
Attacks on oil refineries have caused a fuel crisis, with gasoline sales volume down 47% and prices up 45% since the start of the year, according to Meduza.
