Kyiv has been consistently targeting Russia's oil refineries with long-range drones, denting Russia's oil exports in the hope of cutting off resources Moscow can channel into its war effort. Russia's oil sector is under Western sanctions, but it still holds a major position in the global market.
Russia has also repeatedly targeted Ukraine's critical energy infrastructure, including destroying a major power plant near the Ukrainian capital earlier this month.
In March, the Financial Times reported that the U.S. had pushed Ukraine to stop its attacks on Russia's oil refineries for fear of spikes in global oil prices and the risk of Russian retaliation.
Ukrainian strikes inside internationally recognized Russian territory can be a sticking point between Kyiv and its allies. Ukraine typically will not take official responsibility for attacks over the border.
But Olha Stefanishyna, a Ukrainian deputy prime minister, said last month that Russian oil refineries were legitimate military targets for Ukraine.
"We do not encourage or enable attacks inside of Russia," a U.S. State Department spokesperson previously told Newsweek.

This is a leak regarding a strange email sent by President Atsuo Inaba (70) to the company. A current employee says:
"Company-wide emails (from the president) are sent intermittently from 4 a.m. until about midnight. People seeing it for the first time may be shocked, but employees are used to it. I only think of it as ``Here we go again.'' Due to its frequency and poor phrasing, some people have nicknamed it ``the president's Twitter.''
What kind of emails will I receive? Let me introduce one part of it.
<“Conditional” surrender is best> For example, regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine starting from February 2022. President Atsuo does not hide his support for Russian President Vladimir Putin. The email dated May 11th of the same year reads as follows:
``It's obvious who started this war.'' (Omitted) The best option here is to have Zelenskiy step down immediately and surrender ``conditionally''. There is no way Ukraine, a small country, can defeat Russia. The moment you think you've won, the nuclear weapon will explode. . sc〉

At a press conference on the morning of November 10, 2022, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno (at the time) commented on the information that was being spread on social media about the death of a Japanese volunteer soldier in Ukraine, saying, ``There is no information available. "We are aware of this. The Japanese Embassy in Ukraine is currently confirming the facts."
At a press conference on the morning of the following day, the 11th, it was said that a Japanese man in his 20s who had participated in the battle had died on the 9th local time. This is believed to be the first time that a Japanese person has died as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In this way, information on SNS often travels and spreads faster than existing news reports. Social media is like sending correspondents to all parts of the world, including dangerous areas that journalists cannot access.
However, because information can be transmitted and spread easily, not only true information but also false information is being spread.
``The Like War'' is a book written by P.W. Singer and Emerson T. Brooking, who are active at the forefront of military research and social media research, in which they elucidate the reality of a new war based on numerous case studies.

Regarding Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Shirsky said on social media on the 28th, ``Russian forces are carrying out active offensives on all fronts and achieving tactical successes in several areas.'' He made an announcement and acknowledged that his army was struggling. He added, ``For the past week, fierce fighting has continued on all fronts, and the war situation is changing dramatically.''

On the 25th, the American think tank Institute for the Study of War analyzed that ``Russian forces are on the offensive before U.S. military aid arrives and the Ukrainian military can regain its fighting strength.'' Schilsky's announcement confirms this.
Shirsky acknowledged that Ukrainian forces were retreating in this area, saying the area northwest of Abdevka in the eastern Donetsk region was in the "most difficult situation." On the other hand, he explained that he was replacing damaged troops to prevent further advances by the Russian army.
