Zelensky Vows More Refinery Strikes, Warns of Missile Capable of Reaching Moscow

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has threatened to intensify attacks on Russian oil refineries and warned of a missile capable of striking Moscow.

Zelensky presented the planned escalation as a response to what he described as a Russian policy of targeting civilians to force residents out of Kyiv.

He said documents showed that Russian President Vladimir Putin was pursuing that policy. The claim concerns the intent behind attacks on civilians, rather than only their immediate military impact.

The threat to expand strikes on refineries puts Russian oil infrastructure at the centre of Zelensky’s warning, alongside his reference to a missile with the range to reach the Russian capital.

His remarks came as a counteroffensive advanced in Donbas, linking the warning of deeper strikes inside Russia with developments on the eastern battlefield.
