Ukrainian drone strikes continue to target Russian fuel infrastructure, with reports of attacks on multiple refineries and related fires across Russia. Several outlets say drones strike a Moscow-area oil refinery again within days, with Moscow officials reporting downed drones and flames visible at the site. Bloomberg and other coverage also describe an attack on the Yanos (Yaroslavl/Yaroslavl-region) oil refinery, located northeast of Moscow, adding to concerns about fuel disruptions. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other reporting link the strikes to Kyiv’s long-range campaign aimed at Russian fuel capacity, at times referencing “long-range sanctions.” Zelenskyy also confirms overnight strikes against two refineries in Russia’s Krasnodar region and the Yaroslavl region, describing their distance from Ukraine and naming the Slavyansk-na-Kubani refinery among the targets. One report also mentions a strike on the Slavyansk refinery in Krasnodar. Alongside the refinery attacks, outlets report Russian missile strikes into Kyiv during the same period. Zelenskyy simultaneously seeks support from the United States and Europe for a potential peace deal, while framing the attacks as a response to Russia’s broader wartime actions.
