Russia/Ukraine: Kyiv Resumes Refinery Strikes After the Unmonitored Pause Fails
Ukraine resumed attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, with Reuters reporting a strike on the Ryazan refinery after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv was ending its unilateral restraint. The change follows continued Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukrainian power infrastructure that killed civilians and disrupted power to hundreds of thousands. Russia and Ukraine never published reciprocal terms or a monitoring system for the U.S.-announced energy ceasefire. The established change is renewed Ukrainian refinery targeting after Russian energy strikes continued; the full damage at the refinery and the consequences for fuel supply require additional confirmation.
