Ukraine targets Russian energy hubs following White House defense talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukrainian forces targeted a Russian oil refinery and a logistics center in the Ryazan region, roughly 360 kilometers from the border. Zelenskyy stated that the strikes were part of a long-term campaign to restrict Moscow's financial and logistical capacity to sustain its war effort.

The announcement followed high-level talks in Washington, where Zelenskyy met with US President Donald Trump at the White House to discuss enhancing Ukraine's air defense network against Russian missile attacks. During the visit, officials noted that US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are contemplating a trip to Kyiv to help revive diplomatic efforts. Trump described his discussions with both Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as positive.
