Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia welcomes calls for Kyiv to stop strikes on Russian civilian economic infrastructure. He said Persian Gulf escalation and reduced Russian petroleum-product exports are rapidly worsening global oil markets, while Russian forces will continue their missions across Ukraine and maintain momentum on the fronts.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said strike drones hit the Kyivstar telecommunications building, which serves Ukraine’s military, as well as locomotives and military trains carrying supplies in five Ukrainian regions. Damage to energy infrastructure caused power outages in Dnipropetrovsk, Sumy and Kharkov regions, while electricity was also cut in Kyiv-controlled Kherson.
