Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox KYIV - Ukraine's energy ministry said on Tuesday an overnight Russian attack hit energy facilities in the central Ukrainian region of Poltava, causing large fires. The ministry said a gas transport facility was targeted by several dozen drones, which caused damage. "Russian occupation forces launched another massive attack on energy infrastructure facilities in the Poltava region, using cruise missiles and strike drones simultaneously. The attack resulted in large-scale fires," the ministry said on Telegram. The ministry did not specify what other facilities besides gas infrastructure were attacked. Russia's Interfax news agency reported that the defence ministry had carried out a strike on an oil refinery that was supplying fuel to Ukrainian armed forces. The Poltava region is home to Ukraine's only oil refinery, Kremenchuk, which has been repeatedly attacked by both drones and missiles. Local media and Kremenchuk's mayor published videos of city neighbourhoods against a smoke-filled sky. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.

Russia has launched massive attacks on Ukrainian oil depots and fuel storage facilities since the first days of the war. As a result, Ukraine's fuel needs were completely covered by imports, mainly from European countries. The ministry said that Ukrainian energy facilities had been attacked 2,900 times since March 2025 alone. Russia has repeatedly said it does not attack civilian infrastructure. REUTERS

Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox KYIV - An overnight Russian attack that rocked the central Ukrainian city of Kremenchuk and left hundreds of customers in the Poltava region without power shows that Russian President Vladimir Putin does not want peace, regional Ukrainian officials said. During a summit at the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump told President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Monday that the United States would help guarantee Ukraine's security in any deal to end Russia's war there. After the meeting, Trump called the Russian leader and began arranging a meeting between Putin and Zelenskiy. "At the very same time when Putin was assuring Trump over the phone that he seeks peace, and when President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was holding talks at the White House with European leaders about a just peace, Putin's army launched yet another massive attack on Kremenchuk," Vitalii Maletskyi, mayor of the city that lies in the Poltava region, said on the Telegram messaging app. Maletskyi added that tens of blasts shook the city. "Once again, the world has seen that Putin does not want peace — he wants to destroy Ukraine." The scale of the attack was not clear. Ukraine's Air Force said overnight that the central Ukrainian region was under the threat of a cruise missile attack. Top stories Swipe. Select. Stay informed.
