Zelensky Vows More Strikes on Russian Oil as Both Sides Trade Attacks

aljazeera.net (Arabic) —

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Kyiv will continue striking Russian oil-related targets in response to Moscow's attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, as both countries exchanged new attacks on Friday and Saturday. Zelensky stated on Telegram that strikes on Russian oil refining continue as retaliation, noting Ukraine's power plants, grids, heating, and water systems face "constant attacks" from Russian drones and missiles. He also warned that intelligence indicates Russia is preparing new strikes on Ukraine's energy sector, bridges over the Dnipro River, and civilian infrastructure, urging partners to expedite Patriot interceptor missile deliveries. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported a Russian missile attack on the capital early Saturday, damaging a residential building from falling debris. Russia's defense ministry said it downed 142 Ukrainian drones overnight, while a fire broke out at an industrial facility in the Seversky district following drone debris.
