Russian drones struck multiple sites in Ukraine overnight on Sunday after Kyiv launched 1000 drones on Russia this weekend. Hundreds of drones targeted Moscow, with the mayor calling it the “largest ever” such attack. An oil refinery in the city was forced to halt operations. President Donald Trump has said such strikes on Russian oil sites are responsible for the current jump in oil prices, rather than the war in Iran. On Monday, he wrote on social media that “Russia has unfortunately lost control of its diesel oil industry” because of the war. Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, responded by stressing that his own country's "energy sector, critical infrastructure, and food exports must stop being targets for Russia." The two leaders are due to meet on the sidelines of the UN general assembly on Tuesday. Watch PBS News for daily, breaking and live news, plus special coverage.
