Ukraine Strikes Baltic Fuel Hub Near St Petersburg After Trump-Putin Diesel Deal
Ukraine struck energy and logistics infrastructure near St Petersburg days after Donald Trump announced a deal with Vladimir Putin to bring more Russian diesel to global markets. Russia’s Defence Ministry reported intercepting 1,015 Ukrainian drones nationwide overnight. A fire broke out at the St Petersburg Oil Terminal, a major Baltic export hub, and an Ozon logistics facility was hit; one person was killed and several injured, with the terminal damaged but not destroyed. The attack conflicts with Trump’s push to ease fuel-market pressure by increasing Russian diesel supplies. Washington has urged Kyiv to halt refinery strikes, but Ukraine continues targeting infrastructure tied to Moscow’s energy exports.
