Ukraine intensifies strikes on Russian oil infrastructure amid diplomatic deadlock

published 2d ago fetched 1d ago history →

Ukrainian forces have launched repeated attacks on Russian oil facilities, including refineries and storage depots, aiming to cripple energy capacity. Meanwhile, diplomatic efforts remain stalled, with Trump suggesting Ukraine needs a new president capable of negotiating peace and asserting that Putin desires a deal, while Kyiv insists on continuing military pressure. Civilian casualties from Russian strikes in Ukraine continue to rise, with reports of dozens killed in recent assaults on cities like Kramatorsk and Kyiv.
