Ukraine Strikes Russian Oil Refinery as UN Talks Fail to Halt Civilian Deaths

At least eight civilians were killed in Russian attacks across Ukraine overnight, while Ukrainian long-range strikes hit Russian infrastructure, underscoring the gap between UN peace talks and ongoing battlefield escalation. In the Kharkiv region, six agricultural workers died in a strike on a vegetable-sorting facility, with two more killed in Kyiv. The UN reported over 200 civilian deaths since September 1. Ukrainian drones targeted an oil refinery in Rostov and an industrial facility in Krasnodar. The attacks coincided with President Zelenskyy's UN address urging trade restrictions on Russia. Romania and Moldova reported drone airspace incursions, while Moscow rejected a temporary ceasefire, demanding a comprehensive agreement.
