Read previewUkraine attacked Russia's oil infrastructure after US officials advised them against targeting Russian oil refineries, Bloomberg reports. Russia's oil infrastructure took another hit as drones targeted refineries in the Samara region. The targeted refineries, both part of Rosneft PJSC's Samara region group, play a crucial role in Russia's oil production landscape. The strikes have targeted refineries, storage depots, and other key sites, exacerbating economic pain and raising fears of further escalation. Indeed, the refineries targeted in the Samara oblast last night are over 800 miles from Kyiv.

The decrees showed a range of 10-year penalties against individuals and five-year penalties against non-profit groups including one named in English as the "Russian Children's Foundation."

☆ Belarus official says claim activists blew up Russian spy plane near Minsk is fake

GENEVA, Feb 28 (Reuters) - A senior Belarusian official on Tuesday dismissed as fake a claim by anti-government activists that they had blown up a Russian military surveillance aircraft in a weekend drone attack on an airfield outside the Belarusian capital Minsk. Aliaksandr Azarov, leader of Belarusian anti-government organization BYPOL, was quoted on Sunday as saying that Belarusian "partisans" had used drones to carry out the attack on a Russian Beriev A-50 spy plane. Britain's military intelligence service said on Tuesday that attribution for the attack and damage to the aircraft had not been officially corroborated. "However, the loss of an A-50 Mainstay would be significant as it is critical to Russian air operations for providing an air battlespace picture," it said in a statement. "This will likely leave 6 operational A-50s in service, further constraining Russian air operations."

Opposition activists in Belarus said they destroyed a Russian military aircraft near Minsk. The head of a group opposing Belarus' dictator said those behind the attack escaped the country. The head of Belarusian opposition group BYPOL took responsibility for the attack, with its leader, Aliksandr Azarov, saying on Telegram that it was accomplished using drones. Franak Viacorka, an adviser to exiled Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, told the BBC that the attack was "creative" and "sophisticated". Belarus has supported Russia's invasion of Ukraine, allowing Russian troops to use the country as a transit point.

Front and central parts of the aircraft as well as the radar antenna were damaged as a result of two explosions in the attack at the Machulishchy air base near Minsk, BYPOL reported. The Beriev A-50 aircraft, which has the NATO reporting name of Mainstay, is a Russian airborne early warning aircraft, with airborne command and control capabilities, and the ability to track up to 60 targets at a time. A number of Russian warplanes and airborne early warning and control aircraft have been deployed to Belarus.

Ucraina a impus noi sancţiuni fostului şef de stat, Viktor Ianukovici, fugit din ţară în urmă cu şapte ani. Totodată, acestuia i-au fost blocate toate activele şi proprietăţile din Ucraina. Mai mult, Ianukovici a fost lăsat şi fără distincţiile de stat. Decizia a fost menţinută de magistraţii Curţii de Apel în octombrie anul trecut, însă fostul preşedinte al Ucrainei nu a fost deocamdată încătuşat. Viktor Ianukovici a fost președinte al Ucrainei în perioada 2010-2014.
