- Russia struck Zaporizhzhia and Chernihiv, injuring six people, according to officials.
- Zelenskiy said Ukraine would halt strikes on Russian oil refineries only if Moscow stopped hitting power infrastructure, or if the U.S. supplied Patriot missiles or allowed Starshield use over Russia.
Why it matters: Ukraine’s strikes on Russian oil refineries would not stop unconditionally: Zelenskiy tied that campaign to a halt in Russian power-infrastructure attacks or to U.S. provision of Patriot missiles or permission for Starshield use over Russia. Alongside the six reported injuries, the material consequence is that U.S. military support becomes an explicit condition in Kyiv’s terms.
