Hundreds of kilometers from the front lines, Ukrainian drones reached into the Moscow region on Friday, killing seven warehouse workers and setting an oil depot ablaze. The strikes reflect a deliberate and expanding strategy to erode Russian industrial and logistical capacity from within, carrying the war's weight into spaces once considered safely removed from its reach. As energy infrastructure becomes a sustained target, the conflict reveals itself as something fought not only between armies, but across the entire architecture of a nation's ability to sustain itself.
