Ukraine claimed it hit a major oil refinery that supplies Moscow and its airports, as part of a record drone barrage ahead of talks between Kyiv and the US over a potential ceasefire.

Drones hit the Moscow refinery overnight, Ukraine’s General Staff said in a Telegram post. In Russia, the regional unit of emergencies ministry said in a Telegram statement that debris of a UAV with an unexploded warhead was found in Moscow’s district of Kapotnya, where the refinery is located, and was “successfully neutralized.”
