Ukraine has showed it is able to launch it's drones further into Russia as it hits three sites - including chemical plants and oil refineries - crucial to Putin's evil war machine

Republican Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas is worried that Russia's escalation of its invasion of Ukraine could lead to World War III.

Ukrainian drones have struck one of Russia’s largest oil refineries, sparking a fire. The overnight attack on the Kirishi refinery in Russia's Leningrad region follows weeks of Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil infrastructure.
