US President Donald Trump on Sunday called on Ukraine to stop striking Russian refineries, after Kyiv struck several over the weekend, attacks that he said were increasing the price of diesel and “hurting the world.”
Russia targeted Ukraine with more than 2,000 drones and nearly 80 ballistic missiles last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
Kyiv is facing a difficult winter as Russian strikes against its energy infrastructure intensify; Russia’s new jet-powered drones, improved versions of Iranian Shaheds, evade its air defenses at a much higher rate than their predecessors, the Financial Times reported, leading to more devastating strikes.
On Sunday, Moscow struck a passenger train used to ferry foreign dignitaries into Ukraine from Poland, prompting condemnation from NATO capitals.
