cbc.ca —

Russia's Defence Ministry announced on Sunday it will intensify strikes on military, defence industry, and infrastructure targets in Kyiv and other Ukrainian regions, following remarks by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The ministry said the stepped-up attacks respond to Zelenskyy's statements, including his interview with Reuters where he pledged Ukraine would double down on strikes against Russian oil refineries, while asserting civilians would not be targeted. Separately, a drone debris strike at an industrial site in Russia's Krasnodar region injured three people on Sunday, with emergency services responding to the resulting fire.
