Ukraine resumes refinery strikes after Russian attacks cause Kyiv blackouts

Russia launched overnight drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, causing blackouts in Kyiv and water pressure drops, as Kyiv announced it would resume strikes on Russian oil refineries, breaking a fragile energy truce. Ukrenergo confirmed widespread power cuts, with emergency repairs pending the end of air raid alerts. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported drone debris damaging residential areas. President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the immediate resumption of attacks on Russian refineries, accusing Moscow of violating the truce. The U.S. has reportedly limited Starlink access and withheld satellite intelligence, while Ukraine's Patriot missile stocks are nearly exhausted. The escalation follows a massive attack with 39 ballistic missiles and over 120 drones. Russia claims it downed Ukrainian drones near a key refinery, while Ukraine reported shooting down six Russian Su-34M bombers. Zelensky also discussed further fighter jet and ammunition supplies with Belgium at an EU summit.
