Trump Claimed an Energy Deal—UKRAINE HIT ANOTHER RUSSIAN REFINERY

rump said Ukraine and Russia had agreed to stop striking energy targets. But Ukraine struck the Syzran refinery, while Russian drones hit gas stations in Kyiv. I examine what was struck, what each government has said, and why Zelensky says Ukraine will halt its attacks only if Russia stops attacking Ukrainian infrastructure. I also cover the reported strikes around Taganrog and Sochi, the damage at Donetsk airport, and the latest battlefield figures.

An announced deal and an operating ceasefire are two different things. Today’s strikes show the gap.
