Putin says Ukraine opened 'Pandora's box' with strikes on economic targets
Putin said Russia will retaliate after Ukrainian drone strikes hit oil refineries, warehouses and grain export routes, while Russia says it downed 457 drones overnight.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday that Kyiv opened a "Pandora's box" with strikes on Russian economic targets, vowing to retaliate against Ukraine's "most sensitive economic sectors."
- Ukraine has escalated a campaign of drone strikes this summer targeting Russian economic infrastructure, including oil refineries and warehouses, to destroy assets it claims are central to Russia's war effort.
- Strikes have jeopardized Ukrainian agricultural exports, though Putin claimed Russia can replace these shipments. He insisted, "We do face challenges regarding the shipment of our goods, but we will resolve these issues."
- Russia exited the Turkish-brokered Black Sea grain deal in 2023, leaving both nations targeting each other's agricultural infrastructure. Putin restated Moscow remains open to peace talks only on the basis of "realities on the ground," rejecting what he called "exotic" proposals.
- Ongoing strikes on grain export infrastructure by both sides signal a persistent economic conflict. Putin asserted Russia would resolve shipping challenges, maintaining there will be no shortage on the global market.
