Ukraine Destroys Vsesvit-Oil Depot Near Dnipropetrovsk; Oil Tanker Seized in Mediterranean

Ukrainian forces destroyed the Vsesvit-Oil fuel depot near Dnipropetrovsk on March 26, with video documentation showing massive explosions and fire. The strike was part of Ukraine's sustained campaign targeting fuel and energy infrastructure supplying Russian forces. Separately, French and British authorities seized a Russian shadow fleet oil tanker in the Mediterranean Sea on or around March 20, extending Western interdiction of Russian oil exports beyond Baltic port strikes. UK government reaffirmed its commitment to policing sanctioned vessels; Ukrainian drone strikes and Western tanker seizures are having significant compounding impacts on Russian oil export revenues.
