Russian attacks kill four in Ukraine as Kyiv reports strikes on Russian refineries
Russian drones and missiles killed four people in Ukraine, while Kyiv said it struck two Russian oil refineries overnight.
Kyiv, Ukraine. Russian drones killed a three-year-old boy and his grandparents in a village in the Kyiv region, while another person was killed in an overnight ballistic attack on the capital, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday.
Russia launched six ballistic missiles and 151 drones at Ukraine overnight, according to the Ukrainian air force.
Russian attacks
Zelenskiy said Russia had intensified attacks on Kyiv in recent months. Russia and Ukraine both deny deliberately targeting civilians in their attacks.
“Europe, America, and Ukraine have long wanted to stop this Russian war,” Zelenskiy said on Telegram.
“Only (Russian President Vladimir) Putin doesn’t want to, and he’s desperately clinging to his ballistic missiles and drones to keep the war going. More pressure is needed.”
Ukrainian strikes in Russia
Ukraine’s general staff said its military struck Russia’s Ilsky and Syzran oil refineries during overnight attacks, causing fires at both facilities.
Local authorities in Russia’s southern Krasnodar region said five people were wounded following a Ukrainian drone attack.
Ukraine has targeted Russian oil facilities and logistics infrastructure in an effort to undermine Moscow’s ability to wage war.
Serbia visit
Zelenskiy was in Serbia on his first visit to the Balkan country. Serbia, like Ukraine, is seeking membership of the European Union.
