Ukraine–Russia: reported refinery strikes around a Trump–Zelenskyy meeting period

Ukraine is reported to have carried out strikes on two major Russian refineries. The excerpt links the timing of these strikes to a diplomatic meeting period involving Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and frames the actions within ongoing wartime energy and economic targeting dynamics.

Background and earlier position (why refineries matter)

Refineries are strategic energy assets because they process crude oil into petroleum products used for transport, industry, and logistics. Disruption to refineries can affect fuel availability and can also influence broader economic activity that supports war-time operations and civilian life.

What changed now (the added specifics in the claim)

The reported claim specifies the target category as two major Russian refineries and adds an asserted timing linkage to the Trump–Zelenskyy diplomatic meeting period.
