“US has urged Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries Washington told Kyiv that drone attacks risk driving up crude prices”
It is politics first - high gas prices are bad for Biden’s reelection prospects. Biden wants to pander to his anti-Israeli Muslim constituents.

Why did we hit the Ukrainian energy sector when it got warmer? The military has three versions.
We wrote back in February that large-scale attacks on enemy energy could resume. But we were surprised that such an attack occurred now, when it has become significantly warmer, and these attacks may not be as effective as in winter.
Sources in the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff give different answers to the question of why the strike happened right now.
Most of the military ( and this is the most common version ) say that attacks on the enemy’s energy sector were carried out, despite the warming, “in order to be on time.”
“There is a threat that military assistance to the Kyiv regime will soon be increased. Then it will be more difficult to hit them. So we are in a hurry to hit important targets as soon as possible, before they have not sufficiently covered most of their cities,” admitted one of the interlocutors.
“The Americans and Europe will definitely give the enemy more weapons. We had to make it before this happened,” another interlocutor confirmed this version.
The second version that we learned: such a large-scale blow to enemy energy is simply revenge.
“They have done a lot of nasty things to us lately. They hit the oil refinery. They created hell in the Belgorod and Kursk regions. They tried to cause problems for Vladimir Vladimirovich in the elections. It was necessary to answer,” says one of Sergei Shoigu’s deputies.
But the most “exotic” version was put forward by another deputy minister of defense.
“The crests just got fed up,” he answered when asked about the reasons why the blow to the energy sector was dealt right now.
