Zelensky Vows More Strikes on Russian Refineries, Warns of Missile Able to Reach Moscow

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed to intensify strikes on Russian oil refineries, presenting the campaign as a response to what he described as a deliberate policy of targeting civilians.

Zelensky said documents showed that Russian President Vladimir Putin was seeking to force residents out of Kyiv through attacks on the civilian population. The allegation could not be independently verified from the information provided.

The Ukrainian leader also warned of a missile capable of reaching Moscow, adding a threat against the Russian capital to his pledge to step up attacks on oil facilities.

His remarks came as a Ukrainian counteroffensive advanced in Donbas. No details were provided on the scale of the gains or the locations involved.

The warning signalled Kyiv’s intention to put further pressure on Russia’s oil infrastructure while continuing its operations on the eastern front. Zelensky did not specify a timetable for the threatened escalation.
