Ukraine resumes strikes on Russian oil refineries after brief truce

independent.co.uk —

Ukraine has resumed drone and missile attacks on Russian oil refineries, officials confirmed Thursday, ending a brief truce on energy infrastructure strikes. The attack targeted a refinery in Russia's Ryazan region, where Moscow said air defenses downed four missiles and 69 drones, though debris sparked a fire. A Ukrainian official confirmed the strike, which followed President Zelenskyy's announcement that the truce, rejected by Moscow, was over. The resumption comes amid deepening tensions between Ukraine and Washington over the conflict's direction, with the Ryazan refinery representing a key strategic target in Kyiv's campaign to disrupt Russian fuel supplies.
