Ukraine launches large-scale drone attack on Saint Petersburg refinery

economictimes.indiatimes.com —

Ukraine launched a large-scale drone attack on Saint Petersburg on Sunday, sparking fires at an oil refinery and depot, according to Moscow, as Kyiv accused Russia of violating a US-brokered energy ceasefire dozens of times. The attack targeted Russia's second city amid escalating tensions with Washington, with Ukraine reporting 76 Russian strikes on its energy, oil, and gas facilities since the ceasefire was announced. Kyiv defends its retaliatory hits on Russian refineries as fair retribution for years of destruction. The ceasefire, announced by President Trump last week without prior agreement from either side, quickly collapsed as Moscow continued striking Ukraine's power grid. Trump has expressed anger over Kyiv's refinery strikes, claiming they drive up global fuel prices, while tens of thousands of Ukrainians remain without power.
