Russian strikes killed at least 11 people, including three children, in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region on Saturday, October 10, 2026, following a deal announced by U.S. President Donald Trump to buy Russian diesel fuel the previous day. This agreement came despite warnings from Ukrainian officials that it would financially support Russia's ongoing war with Ukraine. The deal involved an initial supply of over 300,000 tonnes of diesel and additional shipments in November and subsequent months, contradicting recent U.S. sanctions aimed at curbing Russian oil revenues.

Story summary
Hours after US President Donald Trump announced a deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to ease diesel sanctions, Ukraine launched drone strikes that set fire to a fuel facility in Russia’s Rostov region. The same day, Russian glide bombs hit the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, killing at least 15 people including three children and injuring more than ten others. This attack came just hours after Trump struck the diesel deal with Putin, which Ukraine warned could fund Moscow's war against Kyiv. President Volodymyr Zelensky responded by hitting a key Russian oil hub in Novoshakhtinsk, escalating tensions between all parties involved.
