Russian attack damages energy facility and two businesses in Poltava Oblast, one person injured

Ukrainian drones hit Moscow’s oil refinery for the second time this week while Russia fired missiles into Kyiv, as President Volodymyr Zelensky sought support from the US and Europe to reach a peace deal.

Ukraine struck a major oil refinery in Moscow early Thursday, marking the second reported attack on the facility this week as Kyiv continues to intensify long-range strikes against Russian energy infrastructure.

The first strike, on Tuesday, was already understood to have halted operations at the refinery, adding to widespread damage to Russian energy facilities and extending a ​fuel crisis deeper into the country.
