Russia rations fuel as Ukraine resumes strikes on refineries
Russia’s state-owned oil group began rationing supplies at gas stations across the country after Ukraine resumed its strikes against energy targets. A Russian official said Monday that Ukraine had struck the country’s second-largest refinery, the eighth such facility hit in the last two weeks, as Kyiv intensifies its campaign against Russian refineries following a Washington-ordered pause. The US is set to convene trilateral talks with Moscow and Kyiv in Abu Dhabi Tuesday, as President Donald Trump hinted at a potential grand bargain that could include European allies. A US official said that Washington’s proposal is “effectively very similar to NATO” in terms of protection for Kyiv, adding that Trump is not “ rushing to get a bad deal,” Semafor’s Shelby Talcott reported.
