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.

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.
