    So the Russians are “smart enough” to tell everyone that their targets are the “blank spots” on the map. That should help the Ukrainians steer clear of them 🧠!

      My guess is that the drones that they’re using don’t have a payload large enough to obliterate an entire refinery, and that they’re doing more-precise targeting of things at a refinery than “hit the refinery somewhere”. If Russia could block access to all satellite imagery of the refinery, it’d probably have an impact.

      The problem, though, as others have pointed out, is that Ukraine probably doesn’t depend on Yandex-provided satellite imagery.
