Ryazan Oblast

So As I've been saying, we haven't seen any kind of real change in the actual war in the past week or so.

So let's see, where are we here? So the attack was in Russia's Ryazan region.

There was a big fire at the refinery.

According to local officials, the Russian defense ministry said that it shot down 166 drones over multiple Russian regions overnight.

This comes after Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said Kyiv was done complying with the energy ceasefire proposed by President Trump.

Now, with that, Ukrainian drones conducted an assault on the Ryazan region of Russia during the night of October 14th and into the morning of October 15th.

According to Ryazan Governor Pavel Malakhov, it caused a fire to break out at an oil refinery.

In a post on Telegram, Malakhov said that along with the refinery, a warehouse and vehicles at a business were damaged.

But so far, there's no reported casualties.

Andrew Gray, Philip Blankensop, and Max Hunder report.

Russia yesterday publicly acknowledged a Ukrainian drone strike on a major Russian oil refinery in the Ryazan region and broadcast images of the damage on state media, breaking from usual practice to highlight an attack Trump branded a disgrace.

The aftermath of an attack on a refinery was shown on TV for the first time since the start of the war.

The order to limit SpaceX's Starshield services used by Ukraine for battlefield communications and drone operations came from inside the White House.

Pu-Zelensky says Kyiv has ended its suspensions of attacks against Russian's energy targets.

Reuters reported that governor of Russian's Ryazan region said a Ukrainian drone attack caused a refinery fire.

The development follows as an energy truce announced by President Donald Trump.

Reuters reports that the Russian subsequently continued attacks on Ukraine energy facilities.

Refineries produce fuel for transport, industry, and military use, so strikes can ripple through supplies and markets.

There's also a difference between talking about a truce and actually stopping strikes.

Reuters reported a drone attack caused a refinery fire in Russia's Ryazan region.

Zelensky confirmed renewed strikes while Putin said damage was limited.

It is common knowledge that Iran has provided the Houthis with drones and missiles, but the coalition reiterated that the Houthis have had the help of regional actors who have provided ballistic missiles, drones, and explosive-laden fast boats.

Moving on to the Ukraine-Russia war, Ukrainian drones set fire to the Rosneft oil refinery in the Ryazan region.

President Zelensky announced that Ukraine would no longer cease targeting Russian energy infrastructure in response to Russia's continued strikes.

This is despite Trump's self-declared energy infrastructure ceasefire.

He did not say what had tipped his decision or when the strikes would resume.

On Thursday, Pavel Malkov, the governor of Ryazan, a Russian region southeast of Moscow, said on social media that a fire had broken out at an oil refinery after a drone strike overnight.

A Ukrainian official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a classified military operation, confirmed that Kyiv was behind the attack.

Questions about US support for Ukraine in the war against Russia grew after a meeting this month between Ukrainian officials and top US negotiators, in which some who were present said they thought the Americans made a veiled threat about curbing intelligence sharing.

Ukraine has resumed attacks on Russian energy facilities, raising new concerns about the future of a proposed ceasefire and the widening rift between Kiev and Washington.

Ukrainian forces struck an oil refinery in Russia's Ryazan region after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Moscow had continued attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

Zelenskyy has also criticized restrictions affecting military communications and intelligence support.

The renewed strikes could further complicate efforts to negotiate an end to the war.

God's given me enough of a brain to understand this.

Ukraine struck a refinery in Russia's Ryazan region overnight.

So as soon as they kicked it back on, they started attacking again.

Absolutely ignoring what the president wants.
