Ukraine has reportedly launched a drone attack targeting an oil refinery near Moscow, as the conflict with Russia continues.
Russian authorities said air defense systems responded to the attack, while officials assessed the extent of any damage to the refinery and surrounding facilities. Ukraine has increasingly used long-range drones to target military, energy, and industrial sites inside Russia.
The attack came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sought support from U.S. President Donald Trump for efforts aimed at bringing an end to the war.
According to reports, Zelenskyy has emphasized the need for continued international backing, security guarantees, and diplomatic pressure on Russia to help achieve a lasting peace settlement.
Trump has repeatedly stated that he wants the war to end and has expressed support for negotiations between the two sides. However, questions remain about the specific terms and conditions that could lead to a ceasefire or peace agreement acceptable to both countries.
The latest attack highlights the ongoing military pressure being applied by Ukraine while diplomatic efforts continue behind the scenes.
Analysts say the combination of battlefield operations and diplomatic negotiations reflects both sides' attempts to strengthen their positions as discussions about a possible end to the conflict continue.
