Ukrainian drones reportedly struck a refinery in Russia’s Ryazan region after Kyiv declared the pause over, while Russia launched major attacks across Ukraine, including in the Kirovohrad region.[1][6][7] The developments raise the risk of broader attacks on energy infrastructure and increased pressure on Western governments over military and intelligence support for Ukraine. Reports also say Ukrainian forces damaged aircraft at a Russian airfield and that Russian drones entered Romanian airspace, adding a potentially wider regional dimension.[6]
