Russia says it will intensify strikes on Ukraine following an interview by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The Russian Defence Ministry says the response is directed at locations across Ukraine, with a specific focus on Kyiv and other areas.
In its statement, Russia says it will step up attacks on military facilities, defence industry sites, and related infrastructure. The Cyprus Mail report links the decision to Zelensky’s comments in the interview, in which he vows increased attacks on Russian refineries. The Moscow Times similarly reports that Russia plans additional strikes on military and defence-related targets after the interview.
Across the available coverage, the main difference is emphasis rather than the core claim: outlets consistently describe Russia’s announcement and the stated target categories, while framing the action as linked to Zelensky’s interview remarks about refinery attacks.
