Ukrainian Refinery Strikes Pause After Trump Ceasefire Announcement

Local authorities and independent media reported no new strikes on Russian oil refineries, which Ukraine has repeatedly targeted in recent months.

Ukrainian drone attacks ceased in Russia overnight, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin's announcement of a "ceasefire." Russia's Defense Ministry reported that 151 Ukrainian drones were intercepted across 10 regions, with 37 destroyed over Moscow. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed no attacks on Russian oil refineries, unlike previous strikes.

Zelensky also noted Russian forces targeted a power plant in Kharkiv. Kyiv awaits details of talks between Washington and Moscow. The Kremlin remains skeptical of Washington's ability to deliver a favorable deal. Meanwhile, Russian attacks continued on other targets, including injuring 12 near Odesa's port and causing a refinery fire in Rostov.

Russia's Prosecutor General labeled The Moscow Times as undesirable, but journalists refuse to be silenced.
