Rosstat noted a landslide drop in gasoline production after Ukraine's attacks on the largest refineries

Russia faced a sharp drop in gasoline production after a series of Ukrainian drone strikes, the strikes of which paralyzed the work of large oil refineries of Rosneft and Lukoil.

For the week ending March 24, the production of motor gasoline in the country fell by 7.4% and amounted to 754.6 thousand tons, Rosstat reported on Wednesday. Over three weeks, the economy lost 10.1% of gasoline production.

According to Reuters estimates, 14% of primary oil refining capacity at Russian refineries is currently idle, of which almost 10% is at plants that produce gasoline and diesel fuel for the domestic market.

it was concerned that this could lead to higher energy prices and further escalation.

However

Mykhailo Podoliak, adviser to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, denies that Washington demands that Ukraine stop attacks on Russia's oil infrastructure.

Mykhailo Podoliak on the air of the Russian information channel TV Rain, "This is fictitious information. After two years of full-scale war, no one will dictate to Ukraine the conditions for waging this war. Within the framework of international law, Ukraine can ‘degrease’ [attack Russia's oil infrastructure] Russian instruments of warfare. Fuel is the basic tool of warfare. Ukraine will destroy its fuel infrastructure."

Yup.

Higher prices may end up earning russia more money than the damage caused is worth.
I.e do you prefer selling much less fuel for much higher price, or a lot more fuel for much cheaper price.

I think the same thing happened when the west applied its sanctions against russia. The oil price went up( because supply went down ) and in the end, russia ended up making shit tons of more money than they otherwise would have.
But this time, i think its not gona be like that. If ukraine hammers the russian oil industry hard enough , then russia cant compensate for that, even if the prices goes up alot. They will simply end up using all the oil themselves and not having much left to export at high prices.

Russian sourced :

In Anapa, the game streamer said that he would not go to die in the war for Russia, but for America he would not mind, and also said nasty things about our soldiers.

After a while, our security forces came to visit him at home, the streamer was fined, and then he was invited to the military registration and enlistment office, where he, of his own free will, signed a contract with the Russian Defense Ministry and will soon go to the Northern Military District
