Abstract

The article focuses on Ukraine's reported strike on two Russian oil drilling platforms owned by Lukoil PJSC in the Caspian Sea, specifically at the Grayfer and Korchagin fields, nearly 1,000 kilometers from the Russia-Ukraine front line. This attack occurred shortly before a brief Orthodox Easter ceasefire announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin, with Ukraine stating it would "mirror" Russia's actions. The Grayfer and Korchagin fields have a combined peak annual production capacity of 1.2 million tons of crude oil, along with natural gas and condensate. The report notes Ukraine's recent intensification of attacks on Russian energy infrastructure amid ongoing Russian drone and missile strikes on Ukrainian regions. Bloomberg could not independently verify Ukraine's claim, and Lukoil did not immediately respond to requests for comment. [Extracted from the article]
