Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that large-scale Russian attacks overnight in various parts of Ukraine showed Moscow was avoiding negotiations about ending the more than three-year-long war. Russia's latest strikes involved 574 drones and 40 missiles, President Zelenskyy said, and were one of the largest of Russia's attacks so far on Ukraine. One person was killed and 22 were wounded in the overnight strikes, authorities said.
A fire has started following a drone strike in Russia's southern Novoshakhtinsk city, home to an oil refinery, authorities said, as Ukraine stepped up attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure. The Novoshakhtinsk refinery, which sells fuel mainly for export, has an annual capacity of five million metric tonnes of oil, or about 100,000 barrels per day.
