Zelenskyy says 'Moscow will burn' if Russian strikes continue
Zelenskyy said the refinery strike was justified retaliation and called for wider sanctions on Russia’s energy, banking and defense sectors.
- On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the drone strike on Moscow's oil refinery was retaliation for Monday's attack on the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, warning that 'Moscow will burn' if attacks on Ukraine continue.
- Monday's drone and missile strikes across Ukraine killed at least 10 people and damaged the 1,000-year-old Lavra monastery, prompting Zelenskyy to vow a response that materialized Thursday morning.
- The Moscow oil refinery supplies about 40% of the capital's fuel market and processes more than 12 million tonnes of crude oil annually; Zelenskyy called the strike 'entirely justified' after Russian air defenses failed to intercept it.
- Scheduled to attend a military allies meeting in Brussels on Thursday, Zelenskyy urged Europe and the United States to intensify sanctions on Russia's energy and defense sectors to force President Vladimir Putin to end the war.
- Zelenskyy emphasized that 'all Kyiv wants is to end Russia's war' and urged Russian citizens to pressure Putin, arguing they bear the conflict's cost and warning, 'If Ukraine burns, so will Moscow,' if aggression persists.
