The Russian Ministry of Defense posted a photo of three “Shahed” type drones on its Telegram account with the caption: “Like snow on your head.” Under the photo, it was written: “In winter, you will get ‘frozen’.”
This post recalls previous Russian attempts to destroy Ukraine’s civilian electricity generation and heating infrastructure so that large cities, such as the capital Kyiv, would become uninhabitable.
International humanitarian law considers such deliberate strikes on civilian infrastructure to be war crimes.
This post received nearly 22 thousand positive reactions from Telegram users.
In response, the Strategic Communications Department of the Armed Forces of Ukraine published a photo showing a burning Russian oil refinery, with the caption “Let’s warm up by the fire of Russian oil refineries,” referring to Ukraine’s long-range strike campaign against the Russian oil industry.
During this Ukrainian campaign, a series of drone and missile strikes were carried out on Russian oil refineries and storage facilities.

This campaign severely damaged Russia’s ability to refine and export oil products and caused a significant shortage across the country.
Ukrainian arms manufacturer Fire Point, whose missiles and drones played an important role in Ukraine’s strikes on Russian oil refineries and logistics infrastructure, also responded to the Russian Ministry of Defense’s post.
The company published an AI-generated or edited photo showing two drones and the front part of a missile over Red Square, with the inscription on the missile: “We’ll talk about winter after autumn.”
