Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described his country’s recent drone attacks on multiple Russian oil facilities—including depots, a pumping station far from the border, and a loading terminal—as a “long-range sanctions plan,” according to reports. He made the comment amid a wave of overnight Russian strikes that killed at least 12 people and wounded around 100 across Ukraine, using missiles and drones. The Ukrainian strikes, which hit targets hundreds of kilometers inside Russia, came after Kyiv secured an $80 billion defense pledge at a NATO summit and reportedly received U.S. approval to produce Patriot missiles domestically. Russia responded by fully banning diesel exports, citing fuel shortages and long lines at gas stations. The escalation follows U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement that Russian President Vladimir Putin wants peace, though Kremlin insiders told Reuters that Putin is rejecting such calls and likely to intensify fighting.
