Ukraine resumes strikes on Russian refineries as Zelenskyy says 'we're done'
Zelenskyy said the pause is over after Russia kept attacking Ukraine’s energy grid, and officials said the Ryazan refinery fire followed a 3-day truce.
- On Thursday, a major Ukrainian drone attack sparked a fire at a Ryazan oil refinery, a facility accounting for almost 5% of Russia's total oil refining throughput.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced the resumption of energy strikes on Thursday, stating Ukraine paused operations for 3 days to comply with wishes but resumed because Russia continued attacking Ukrainian infrastructure.
- This event marks the first strike since President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire on Sunday, though neither side confirmed the agreement; the Ryazan refinery has faced several drone attacks in recent months.
- Ryazan governor Pavel Malkov cancelled classes in schools and kindergartens in two districts, citing what he called mass drone attacks, while emergency services worked at the scene where a warehouse was also damaged.
- Owned by Russian oil major Rosneft, the refinery serves as a critical fuel source for Moscow, and officials are currently assessing the extent of material damage caused by the strike.
