Ukraine resumes attacks on Russian oil refineries, officials say, after brief truce

Ukrainian drones attacked an oil refinery in Russia's Ryazan region early Thursday, according to NPR. Ryazan Governor Pavel Malkov reported on Telegram that the major drone strike sparked a fire at the installation, and emergency services are currently working at the scene while material damage is assessed.

The resumption of strikes follows the collapse of an energy truce announced by US President Donald Trump on Sunday, which had previously led Kyiv to refrain from attacking Russian refineries. Punch reports that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated Kyiv would resume these strikes after the truce collapsed. The Jerusalem Post notes that Zelenskyy expressed frustration over Russia's continued attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, which he said left 600,000 people without power on Wednesday, and criticized what he described as US favoritism toward Russia.

In a separate report from Euromaidan Press, Russian drone attacks have continued to strike Ukraine. In Lutsk, debris from a Russian drone damaged a record-setting painting at the Korsaks Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art after a fire broke out at the Adrenalin City shopping and entertainment complex. Additionally, Russian UAV attacks have set fire to an oil depot, a shopping center, and a wholesale warehouse.
