## Oil refinery supplies Russian military
The refinery supplies over a third of Moscow region's fuel, including petrol, diesel and aviation fuel used by Russia's military. Ukrainian officials said three key units were damaged in the strike.
## Ukraine targets war machine's supply
President Zelensky said the attack on the oil facility and logistics site represents billions of dollars that sustain Russia's war machine. Ukraine's defense minister said such strikes directly undermine Russia's ability to continue the war.

## Russian attacks kill civilians in Ukraine
Russian strikes killed at least nine people, including three children, in Kyiv and Sumy regions on Saturday. A mother and two small children died in Fastiv, and four people were killed in a car hit by a drone in Sumy.
## Both sides escalate infrastructure strikes
Russia and Ukraine have intensified attacks on energy facilities, transport infrastructure and logistics hubs. Both sides continue targeting these facilities despite US President Trump claiming they agreed not to.
## Moscow airports disrupted by attack
Sheremetyevo and Vnukovo airports imposed temporary restrictions overnight, with all arrivals and departures halted at Vnukovo. Both airports lifted restrictions by Sunday morning but warned of possible flight delays.
## Key takeaway

Ukraine targeted Russia's fuel supply in its biggest attack on Moscow, while Russian strikes continue killing civilians across Ukrainian cities.
