Ukraine missile strike near Kyiv kills 10, fuels Russian logistics woes

A Russian missile struck a private weapons‑demonstration site about 20 km from Kyiv, killing at least ten people and wounding roughly a hundred. Russian defence officials said the target was a drone‑show involving Ukrainian and foreign equipment.

Separate investigations found that Georgian Black Sea ports processed and re‑exported Russian‑origin refined fuel to the EU and the United Kingdom, effectively bypassing sanctions.

Ukrainian drones have also attacked several Wildberries logistics warehouses in Russia and Crimea, causing multiple deaths and injuries and disrupting the e‑commerce giant’s supply chain.

In Russia, intensified drone attacks on refineries have created a nationwide fuel shortage, leading to long queues at gas stations and affecting up to 50 million people. The EU’s oil price cap, set at $44.7 per barrel, aims to limit further Kremlin revenue.

European leaders are debating renewed diplomatic engagement with Moscow as the war drags on, highlighting the broader geopolitical fallout of the conflict.
