Ukrainian forces targeted two major Russian oil refineries following high-level White House talks between Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Donald Trump regarding air defense support.

Ukrainian forces launched overnight strikes targeting two major Russian oil refineries, including facilities in the Ryazan region roughly 360 kilometers from the border, alongside military logistics centers.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the attacks as part of an ongoing campaign to restrict Moscow's financial and logistical capacity to sustain its war effort. The military operations occurred shortly after Zelenskyy met with US President Donald Trump at the White House to request enhanced air defense systems against Russian missile attacks. Trump characterized his meeting with Zelenskyy as positive, while the Ukrainian leader also held discussions with US senators during his Washington visit.
