Dated the day this page was built. The link always leads to this event, even after the stories are regrouped.
Ukraine has resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy angrily accused the United States of the “dangerous” withdrawal of support critical to its defense against Russia.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
The drone strike started a fire at the refinery about 300 kilometres southeast of Moscow, Russia's Defence Ministry and Ryazan Governor Pavel Malkov said.
By effectively walking away from Trump's demand that Ukraine halt attacks on refineries, Mr Zelensky risks deepening the biggest rift between Kyiv and Washington since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Amid growing doubts about long-term US commitment to Ukraine, European leaders have shown their support for Zelenskyy, who met Nato chief Mark Rutte in Brussels and held a string of bilateral meetings before he was set to join an EU summit on Friday.
In Ukraine, more than 360 Russian drones targeted Kirovohrad, a central region that has been hit less hard than others closer to Russia, in attacks that killed three and injured six.
