It is Kiev's SBU intelligence agency's new strategy to undermine the economic potential of the Russian Federation. Russia has also focused on attacking Ukraine's economic infrastructure to minimize civilian casualties.

The Russian Defense Ministry said that Ukraine launched attacks by using a total of 58 aircraft-type UAVs.

“Air defense duty systems intercepted and destroyed 58 UAVs over the territories of Belgorod (11 UAVs), Bryansk (8 UAVs), Voronezh (29 UAVs), Kursk (8 UAVs), Leningrad (1 UAV), Ryazan (1 UAV),”

MOSCOW, March 16 (Reuters) - A Ukrainian drone attack caused a fire at a Russian oil refinery that burned for hours on Saturday before it was brought under control in the latest of several damaging strikes this week on Russia's crude oil processing plants. An attack on another refinery, Novokuibyshevsky, on Saturday was thwarted, the local governor said. Both plants are owned by Rosneft and located in the Samara region southeast of Moscow, some 800 km (500 miles) from the nearest Ukrainian-controlled territory.
