The governor of the Ryazan region, Pavel Malkov, announced in a message published on Telegram that the extent of losses is being assessed. Emergency services are on site. However, he did not provide information on the scale of the damage or whether anyone was injured.

In an interview for the Financial Times published on Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced a return to attacks on Russian refineries. As he explained, Ukraine did not strike Russian energy infrastructure for three days after US President Donald Trump's comments regarding a possible ceasefire in this sector.

The ban (on refinery attacks) has been lifted. We have had enough, Zelensky said.

The Ukrainian leader pointed out that the decision was influenced by, among others, difficulties with access to intelligence data provided by the US and disruptions to the operation of the Starlink system during intense Russian shelling.

Zelensky emphasized that despite Kyiv temporarily suspending attacks on Russian energy facilities, Russia continued to carry out strikes against such infrastructure in Ukraine. According to him, more than 100 civilians were killed in Russian shelling last week.

Reuters reported that the refinery in Ryazan belongs to Rosneft and supplies fuel to Moscow. Its share in the total processing capacity of Russian refineries is nearly 5%.

An American military base in Poland this year? Nawrocki comments

President Karol Nawrocki noticed the lack of a representative of the Presidential Palace in the Polish team preparing talks with the US about the permanent presence of American troops in Poland, even though he assured that cooperation with the government was going well. He acknowledged delays in negotiations after meeting with Trump in September 2025, but emphasized the shared goal of establishing a permanent U.S. presence. Trump announced significant progress and said he would announce the location of the base, while the decision rests with the US after the completion of a six-month review of its military presence in Europe. Nawrocki criticized every attempt to reduce the sanctions imposed on Russia, calling for more stringent sanctions.

"The lockdown has been lifted." Ukraine will resume strikes against Russian refineries

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the ban on strikes against Russian refineries has been lifted due to problems with intelligence data from the US and disruptions in the operation of Starlink during massive Russian shelling. Ukraine went three days without attacking Russian energy facilities to comply with Washington's wishes, while Russia continued to shell such targets in Ukraine, killing more than 100 civilians in the last week.
