Ukrainian Strikes: Putin Finally Reveals the Extent of Damage in Russia

Vladimir Putin stated that Ukrainian strikes have caused damage equivalent to about 1% of Russia's GDP, without threatening the country's economic stability. The attacks, which targeted strategic infrastructures, particularly impacted the oil sector, reducing gasoline production to about 70% of domestic demand. At least 21 strikes were recorded against Russian refineries in August, leading to measures to ease tensions in the domestic market.
