In a significant military escalation, Russia has launched a 'massive' overnight attack on Ukraine's southern and central regions, resulting in casualties. Ukrainian authorities reported one woman killed in Zaporizhzhia, with 28 others injured, including children. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that over 500 drones and 45 missiles were used in the attack, affecting 14 regions.
In retaliation, Ukraine struck Russian oil refineries in Krasnodar and Syzran. Ukraine's military reported numerous explosions at the refineries, which are critical installations, producing three million tons of oil per year. Russian officials acknowledged damage to one of the refineries but reported no casualties.
The conflict's latest events highlight a disregard for peace negotiations, as Zelensky condemned Russia's aggression and called for stronger international sanctions. As some European foreign ministers convene to discuss strategies, including potential freezing of Russian assets, the future of peace remains uncertain.
