Ukraine is intensifying drone strikes on Russian oil infrastructure ahead of an upcoming White House meeting. The Kyiv Post says fifteen of Russia’s thirty‑eight major refineries have been knocked offline, and Ukrainian drones have hit the Ryazan refinery and a Wildberries logistics warehouse, according to a Ukrainian military news source.
The Washington Post links the campaign to the diplomatic talks. The strikes threaten Russia’s fuel processing capacity while giving Kyiv leverage in negotiations, and they portray a diplomatic setback for President Putin, as suggested by a Yahoo headline describing him as humiliated.
Future reporting will need to confirm how Russia responds and whether the White House meeting produces any concrete agreements.
