Speak with Ukraine about their attacks on Russia rather than asking me, says Pentagon spox

The Pentagon’s spokesman, Pat Ryder, advised the journalist to speak with Ukraine about the attacks on Russia, not to him, when asked about Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries.

Since the beginning of the year, the intensity of attacks by Ukrainian drones on Russian oil refineries and oil depots has increased. According to the results of March alone, drones attacked oil facilities at least 14 times. The air strikes disabled part of the refinery equipment. Gasoline production in Russia fell, and prices began to rise.
