Kyiv, Ukraine - Ukraine launched a drone strike on a Russian oil refinery on Thursday, breaking a brief truce involving energy targets that Moscow allegedly disregarded, according to the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Zelenskyy expressed his feelings of betrayal towards U.S. President Donald Trump, alleging that the U.S. president had let him down.
The drone attack resulted in a fire at the refinery, located approximately 300 kilometers (180 miles) southeast of Moscow in the Russian Ryazan region, as reported by the Russian Defense Ministry and Ryazan Governor Pavel Malkov. Astra Online News shared an image of the blaze.
This attack may further strain Ukraine's relations with Trump, who has recently grown increasingly frustrated with Kyiv due to tensions escalating between the West and Russia. Zelenskyy accused Russia of persistently bombing his nation's energy infrastructure, seemingly defying Trump's request on Sunday for both parties to cease such attacks.
Despite agreeing to Trump's call for a truce, Zelenskyy contended that Ukraine was subsequently denied customary Western intelligence regarding Russian ballistic missile strikes, as well as restrictions on certain aspects of the ongoing conflict.
