Russia’s Defense Ministry threatened further attacks on Ukrainian military and military-industrial facilities, as well as related infrastructure in Kyiv and other regions, after President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine would target Russian oil refineries.

Zelensky described the planned refinery attacks as a response to what he called Moscow’s “new doctrine” of airstrikes, according to CNBC. Ukrinform separately reported that Zelensky said Ukrainian “sanctions” had reached Russia’s Samara region and Iskander missile launch sites in the Bryansk region.
