It said in a statement that the strikes, which spanned April 20-27, were"in response to attempts by the Kyiv regime to damage Russian energy and industrial facilities."Ukraine has systematically targeted Russian oil refineries and other facilities in drone attacks in recent weeks, ignoring U.S. requests not to do so.
