A missile attack hit an oil depot in western Ukraine, says Rivne’s regional governor, marking the second attack on oil facilities in the region and the latest in a series of such attacks in recent days.
Western Ukraine has not seen ground combat, but missiles have struck oil depots and a military plant in Lviv, a major city close to Poland where hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have gone to escape fighting elsewhere.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky suggested in an interview with Russian journalists released yesterday that the attacks on oil depots are intended to disrupt the planting season in Ukraine, which is a major grain producer.
