Russia’s black economic heart pumps oil. Ukraine’s drones are slashing its arteries

Ukraine doesn’t have a lot of things that Russia does. It doesn’t have a huge oil industry, powering its economy with foreign exchange despite Western sanctions. Ukraine doesn’t have heavy bombers armed with long-range cruise missiles, as Russia does. Nor does it have Russia’s large surface warships and submarines armed with their own far-cruising missiles. Ukraine doesn’t have the same hypersonic ground-launched ballistic missiles that Russia has in abundance.
