Ukraine Resumes Attacks on Russian Oil Refineries, Officials Say, After Brief Truce
A senior Ukrainian official said the overnight strike hit the refinery, while Russia said air defenses downed 69 drones and four missiles.
- On Thursday, Ukrainian forces struck an oil refinery in Russia's Ryazan region, igniting a fire at the facility located 180 miles southeast of Moscow, hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared the energy truce over.
- Zelenskyy's decision followed Russia's persistent aerial bombardment of energy infrastructure, which he described as a violation of President Trump's Sunday ceasefire demand; Russia launched more than 850 drones against Ukraine between midnight and Thursday morning.
- Russia's Defense Ministry reported that air defenses intercepted four Ukrainian Flamingo missiles and 69 drones, though falling debris sparked the refinery blaze; the ministry separately claimed its forces downed 166 Ukrainian drones overnight.
- Relations between Kyiv and the United States have soured, with Zelenskyy telling Piers Morgan on Wednesday that he feels betrayed by Trump's deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin, citing restricted access to Western intelligence and Starlink.
- Zelenskyy stated in a Financial Times interview published Thursday that attacks on Russian oil refineries will resume, criticizing the ceasefire agreement for allowing Russia to continue its full-scale invasion of Ukraine begun more than four years ago.
