Ukraine strikes oil refineries in Saratov, Tuapse<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ukrainian military carried out a strike on Russia\u2019s Saratov oil refinery overnight on Monday, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in a statement on social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strike caused a fire in the area of ELOU AVT-6 refining units, it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The refinery in Saratov is one of Russia\u2019s oldest oil processing plants. It has the capacity to process 4.8 million tons of crude per year, according to the data from 2023. The facility also supplies the Russian military, the message reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine\u2019s defense forces also hit parts of Russian supply lines in the occupied region of Luhansk, the Ukrainian General Staff said. A materiel warehouse in Rozkishne and a mobile fuel and lubricants depot in Dovzhansk were struck.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c[Ukraine\u2019s] defense forces are consistently striking critical elements of the military industrial base of [Russia\u2019s] terrorist state in order to strip it of possibilities to continue aggression,\u201d the General Staff said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine struck an oil terminal of the Tuapse refinery on November 1. The attack damaged an oil loading facility in Russia\u2019s Black Sea port of Tuapse. The terminal is one of Russia\u2019s largest, the Ukrainian General Staff said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UK sends Ukraine more Storm Shadow missiles to strike in Russia, Bloomberg News says<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The UK government recently resupplied Ukraine with more Storm Shadow cruise missiles to enable Kyiv to continue its campaign of long-range strikes inside Russia, people familiar with the matter said, according to Bloomberg News. The paragraphs below are quoted from the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delivery of an unspecified number of missiles was made to ensure Ukraine is stocked ahead of the winter months, during which Britain is concerned the Kremlin will step up attacks on Ukrainian civilians, according to the people, who spoke anonymously about matters that haven\u2019t been made public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Storm Shadows are precision-guided, air-launched missiles with a range of more than 250 kilometers (155 miles).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK government hasn\u2019t said how many Storm Shadow missiles it has given Ukraine during the war, and doesn\u2019t regularly announce transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump administration has lifted a key restriction on Ukraine\u2019s use of some long-range missiles provided by Western allies, enabling Kyiv to step up attacks on targets inside Russia and increase pressure on the Kremlin, U.S. officials said in late October, according to The Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump not considering sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine for now<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

U.S. President Donald Trump said he\u2019s \u201cnot really\u201d considering providing Ukraine with long-range Tomahawk missiles. Asked about it by reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump responded: \u201cNo, not really.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCould happen,\u201d he added. \u201cI could change, but at this moment, I\u2019m not,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked what would be the \u201cfinal straw\u201d for the U.S. regarding Russia\u2019s actions in Ukraine, Trump said: \u201cThere is no final straw. Sometimes you have to let it fight out, and they are fighting it out. And it\u2019s been a tough war for Putin. He\u2019s lost a lot of soldiers, maybe a million. That\u2019s a lot of soldiers. And it\u2019s been tough for Ukraine. It\u2019s been tough with both. Sometimes you have to let it, you know, just get fought out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve settled eight wars. I thought that that war would be easier than some of the ones we settled,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine has long argued that Tomahawk missiles would significantly expand its strike capabilities, compelling Russia to take Trump\u2019s calls for negotiations to end war more seriously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi in a meeting on October 17 that he doesn\u2019t intend to provide long-range Tomahawk missiles, at least for now, two sources briefed on the meeting told Axios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good that President Trump didn\u2019t say \u2018no,\u2019 but for today, [he] didn\u2019t say \u2018yes,\u2019\u201d Zelenskyi told NBC News after the meeting, speaking of the delivery of Tomahawk missiles. Zelenskyi said he and Trump had talked about long-range missiles, but decided not to make statements on the issue \u201cbecause the United States does not want an escalation,\u201d according to BBC News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe problem with the Tomahawk is \u2014 a lot of people don\u2019t know \u2014 It\u2019ll take a minimum of six months, usually a year, to learn how to use,\u201d Trump told reporters during an Oval Office meeting with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on October 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
