Ukraine has resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky. The attacks follow a three-day pause that ended after fresh Russian attacks and U.S. Pressure on Kyiv.
Naval authorities confirmed that a drone strike hit two tankers off Romania's Black Sea coast, leaving seven crew members missing. The incident occurred 13 nautical miles east of the mouth of the Danube River. The strike was part of a broader pattern of drone attacks in the region.
Russian officials have responded to the renewed Ukrainian strikes, with President Vladimir Putin's government accusing Kyiv of breaking the energy truce. Ukraine's president earlier stated that Kyiv was "done" with the ceasefire and that strikes on Russian oil refineries would resume.
The attacks on Russian oil infrastructure mark a significant escalation in the conflict, as both sides continue to target each other's energy assets. The situation reflects the ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia, with neither side showing signs of de-escalation.
The conflict has seen a series of military and economic confrontations, with energy resources becoming a key battleground. The resumption of strikes highlights the deepening divide between the two nations and the continued impact of the war on regional stability.
