Russia Intercepts Over 600 Drones Even After Trump Called Ukraine's Attacks On Refineries A 'Disgrace'
On Friday Russia's Defense Ministry announced that 644 Ukrainian drones were intercepted over 26 Russian regions as well as Crimea.
Some Russian sources said among the targets was a data center owned by tech giant Yandex in Vladimir - after Ukraine made it known it is going after the country's data centers, and as the war against the refineries has not let up.
These attacks persist despite President Trump having slammed Ukraine's policy on attacking Russian energy at a moment of global diesel shortages as a "disgrace".
File image via Russian MoD"If you tell me that Zelenskyy is again shooting at refineries, all he's doing is making the world oil price higher," Trump has said in a Newsmax interview Friday. "I think that's a disgrace. There's plenty of other targets; they don't have to hit."

Russia Celebrates 'Historic Moment' After Trump Formally Waives Graham Act Sanctions
The Kremlin is praising the Trump White House after the US President on Friday signed an executive order to waive a new package of sanctions and tariffs on Russia.
What's essentially a major and unexpected 'stay of execution' comes after in September Trump had signed the "Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026" into law.
It was expected to take effect soon, as part of a big Washington ramping up of pressure to further strangle the Russian economy and thus starve Putin's war machine.
Trump has informed Congress that he must waive the new sanctions package because it is in the US national interest, at a moment he's desperately trying to get diesel prices under control amid both the Iran war and Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil refineries.
"I have submitted to the Congress a certification that the issuance of such a waiver at this time is in the national interests of the...
