Overnight Russian attacks have killed at least three people and injured more than a dozen in southeastern Ukraine as Kyiv has struck a Russian oil refinery more than 1,300km (800 miles) from the front line.<\/p>\n

Russia attacked the Dnipropetrovsk region with drones early on Wednesday, damaging five petrol stations and killing a woman, Governor Oleksandr Hanzha said. A separate attack late on Tuesday in Zaporizhzhia, the capital of the neighbouring Zaporizhia region, killed two people, Ukrainian media reported.<\/p>\n

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a statement that Ukraine targeted an oil refinery in Ufa in southern Russia and what he described as a strategic facility of Russia\u2019s military-industrial complex in the Penza region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an entirely just response to everything Russia is doing against us. Peace is needed, and this is exactly what Russia\u2019s leadership must realize,\u201d he wrote in a post on X.<\/p>\n

A day earlier, Russia said it shot down 419 Ukrainian drones over the country, including in the Moscow region, where authorities said a six-month-old was killed.<\/p>\n

Kyiv has stepped up its long-range drone strikes against Russia in recent months as Moscow\u2019s full-scale war against Ukraine has dragged on for almost four and a half years.<\/p>\n

Kyiv signed a contract on Tuesday with Sweden for 16 used Gripen E fighter jets, aircraft manufacturer Saab said, valuing the deal at 24.6 billion kronor ($2.53bn). Zelenskyy said the 16 older aircraft would be transferred to Ukraine\u2019s air force at the beginning of 2027, as agreed with Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the week, the Kremlin noted that Russia\u2019s position on a peace deal is unchanged from 2024. Putin said in a television interview over the weekend that Russia would press ahead with its aim of fully controlling four Ukrainian regions it unilaterally annexed in 2022 \u2013 Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia \u2013 rejecting what he said was a new Ukrainian proposal to scale back the fighting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
