Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced the resumption of strikes against Russian oil refineries following a period of inactivity. This decision follows a series of recent Russian drone attacks targeting infrastructure in central Ukraine. On Thursday, Russian officials reported that a Ukrainian strike hit an oil refinery, marking the return to this tactical approach.
The escalation follows the collapse of efforts by the White House to negotiate an energy ceasefire between the two nations. The renewed focus on energy infrastructure signifies a shift back to direct targeting of industrial assets as both sides intensify their campaigns against one another's power and fuel capabilities.
