Another reminder of how state conflicts disrupt markets and ordinary lives. If only governments would stop meddling and let people trade and prosper in peace.
Striking a major refinery sends a strong message, but let’s not forget the risk of escalating the conflict further. Peace through strength only works if both sides are willing to talk.
While these strikes weaken Russia's war machine, the real tragedy is the ongoing suffering of ordinary people on both sides. The world needs to push for real diplomacy, not just more destruction.
Targeting key infrastructure like oil refineries shows Ukraine’s resilience in defending its sovereignty. Energy is Russia’s lifeline—this might push the conversation closer to the negotiating table.
