Ukraine is changing how it fights the war. Lately, they have been sending drones deep into Russia to hit oil refineries. These are the big factories that turn crude oil into gas and fuel.
The International Energy Agency says these attacks are working. They are hurting Russia's ability to make and sell fuel, which is a key way the Russian government makes money. Experts say these strikes are effectively disarming one of Russia's biggest economic weapons.
Inside Russia, things are getting tense. The Russian people are getting ready to vote, but they are also getting more worried. People are feeling the pressure of the ongoing war, and the recent attacks have made that fear worse. Even as the government tries to project strength, the feeling on the ground is changing. Many Russians are feeling anxious as the conflict continues to touch their daily lives and their economy.
