Ukrainian president expresses growing frustration with Russia and the US over lack of progress on a deal
Russian officials said on Thursday their forces had destroyed 113 Ukrainian drones overnight after some of them targeted an oil refinery in the northwest that resulted in a fire in a storage tank, AFP reported.
One of the drone attacks targeted an oil refinery in Velikiye Luki around 500 kilometres (300 miles) west of Moscow, causing “a fire in an oil storage tank”, regional governor Mikhail Vedernikov said in a statement.
According to initial reports, the attack did not cause any injuries among civilians or refinery staff, he added.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy seems to grow tired of fruitless rounds of negotiations with Russia in which the other side keeps making historical claims about its alleged right to control Ukraine.
