Ukraine Strikes Ryazan Refinery After Zelensky Declares Ceasefire Over

newsweek.com —

A suspected Ukrainian drone strike hit an oil refinery in Ryazan, Russia, causing a fire, hours after President Volodymyr Zelensky declared Ukraine was "done" with a US-brokered ceasefire on energy targets. Regional Governor Pavel Malkov reported a "massive drone attack" on Thursday, with a fire breaking out at the refinery and damage to a warehouse and vehicles at another facility. Kyiv has not commented, but the strike follows Zelensky's interview with the Financial Times, where he said the block on attacking refineries is "out" and accused Russia of continuing to bombard Ukrainian energy sites despite the truce announced by Donald Trump. Zelensky also warned of risks from US restrictions on intelligence sharing and Starlink, and told broadcaster Piers Morgan he felt "betrayed" by Trump. The ceasefire proposal, announced last week, reportedly took both sides by surprise.
