Ukraine targets Russian refineries deep in the heartland as Moscow strikes trains and ships

Ukraine said it hit oil refineries hundreds of kilometres inside Russia (in Bashkortostan and Yaroslavl) in an overnight attack, while Russia fired missiles at Ukraine, hitting a Lozova train station and a commercial ship in the Black Sea; both sides have stepped up long‑range strikes and civilian casualties, with Zelenskyy calling the refinery strikes a push toward diplomacy as Moscow touts drone defenses and retaliatory strikes.
