usnews.com —

Russia announced it will intensify strikes on Kyiv and other Ukrainian regions, the Defence Ministry said Sunday, in response to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's interview vowing increased attacks on Russian refineries. The ministry said Russian forces will step up attacks on military facilities, defence industry sites, and related infrastructure. Zelenskiy told Reuters on Saturday that Ukraine will double down on targeting Russian oil refineries but will not target civilians. Russia has recently escalated strikes on Kyiv infrastructure, including bridges across the Dnipro river, disrupting life for the capital's 3 million residents before winter. Both Russia and Ukraine deny targeting civilians.
