There are always weight of effort tradeoffs to be made when conducting a strike campaign. A shift towards the Russian power grid shouldn't lift the pressure on refineries though, as those strikes are really starting to pay off now.

As for "mental gymnastics" and hypocrisy, I'll just say that I personally have been careful when discussing the Russian critical infrastructure campaigns, avoiding moral outrage.
Going after such targets has been a feature of most large Western air campaigns in the past too.

RT @shashj: 'Few people understand Russia’s shadow fleet as well as Ivo Värk, commancder of Estonia's navy. It often tracks dozens of shadow vessels through the Gulf of Finland every day. But when it comes to halting them, Mr Värk admits: “There’s not much we can do”'

"Ukraine has dramatically increased the number of attacks launched against Russian oil refineries in recent months, sparking fuel shortages and price rises in some parts of the country, BBC Verify and BBC Russian have found.
Drone strikes on refineries - some deep inside Russia - soared in August and remained high in September, an analysis of Russian media reports and verified footage showed.
Some 21 of the country's 38 large refineries - where crude oil is converted into useable fuel like petrol and diesel - have been hit since January, with successful attacks already 48% higher than the whole of 2024...
Owners of small and independent petrol stations in Siberia have told Russian media they have had to shut down due to ongoing issues with fuel supply. A manager in the Novosibirsk region compared the situation to the hyperinflation experienced by post-Soviet Russia.
'In my opinion we haven't had a crisis like this since 1993-1994," he told local outlet...

Is this guy really comparing icebreakers to aircraft carriers?
One of them patrols and breaks ice, while the other carries a massive airbase with 75-90 aircraft and +5,000 people on a ship throughout the world along with a carrier strike group, but Russia has icebreakers https://twitter.com/Alex_Oloyede2/status/1973425572618367195#m

🇷🇺🇺🇦 FT: There are indications that Russia "has succeeded" in modifying its missiles to evade Ukrainian air defences, according to Ukrainian and western officials.
▪️ The missiles, namely Iskander-M and Kinzhal ballistic missiles, now follow a typical trajectory before diverting and plunging into a steep terminal dive or executing manoeuvres that "confuse and avoid" Patriot interceptors.
▪️ Officials say a "pattern" had emerged in which incoming missiles behaved differently in their "terminal phase," veering from their previously established engagement settings.
▪️ The strikes that targeted Ukrainian drone makers this summer were a prominent example of Russia improving its ballistic missiles to better defeat Patriot batteries, current and former Ukrainian and western officials told the Financial Times.
▪️ Ukraine's Patriots were previously protected by other systems, such as IRIS-T SLS and IRIS-T SLM. Now, with some of those assets damaged or...

@EerikMatero: Exactly. Hard to get around those warrants.
A lot of European politicians could find themselves in an uncomfortable position if such a campaign indeed happens.

A key issue here, as @EerikMatero pointed out, are the ICC warrants against Shoigu and Gerasimov for the first Russian critical infrastructure campaign in the winter of '22/'23.

@NOELreports: This has a lot more to do with Ukraine mainly receiving PAC-2 interceptors for Patriot systems instead of PAC-3 MSE. That would account for the vast majority of the drop in the interception rate.
The interception rate depends on where the missiles are fired, whether they are fired at an area with a Patriot system or not, and if they are fired at an area with a Patriot system, what missiles does it have?
The 37% to 6% is very misleading in that regard. Because if Russia is attacking an area with no Patriot system, then the interception rate is 0%. Therefore, the interception rate of Patriot itself isn’t 6%; it’s the overall interception rate of all ballistic missiles by Ukraine, factoring in all areas with no air defenses against ballistic missiles.
If Russia makes a software update to its missile maneuvering, then the interceptors should also be updated to anticipate such maneuvers, something the US must do.
To fix this problem
1. Ukraine should be sent PAC-3 MSE/CRI missiles by the US, which is basically not happening at all anymore
2. Ukrainian Patriot radars needed to be upgraded to AN/MPQ-65A AESA
3. Interceptors need to be upgraded to anticipate a change in the maneuvering of Iskander-M ballistic missiles
4. Ukraine needs to be sent 150 or so ATACMS missiles, or some GMLRS-ER, as well as being provided with US intelligence to destroy Iskander-M ballistic missiles launchers and ammunition depots with such missiles
5. Ukraine needs to be provided with Tomahawk cruise missiles to strike Russia’s Iskander-M ballistic missile motor plant ~900km from Ukraine, and Votkinsk Iskander-M missile factory ~1,320km from Ukraine
Then the Iskander-M problem is solved for Ukraine and for Europe in the future
