Ukraine extends attacks on Russian oil industry despite opposition from Washington. Kiev forces bomb a refinery and a drone factory 1,200 kilometers from the border, causing five deaths, according to local media.

Volodymyr Zelensky does not allow himself to be intimidated, not even by the United States, his greatest ally along with the European Union. The bombing against the refinery in Tatarstan comes at the most complicated moment in relations between kyiv and Washington, especially due to the Republican blockade in Congress.
