Desk note: Monexus has framed this story on the established premise that Ukraine is the invaded party, and that strikes on Russian energy infrastructure serving the war effort are a legitimate defensive response. Russian state-aligned sources are cited for the specific claims they carry from the Russian presidency, with explicit attribution; Western wire-service verification of refinery throughput and strike-damage specifics is not yet available in this thread, and this article flags the gap rather than papering over it.
