Russia said air defences had repelled the attack on the Tyumen oil refinery, one of Russia’s largest refining facilities.
Separately, tensions emerged between Kiev and Warsaw over historical memory.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had returned Poland’s highest state honour, the Order of the White Eagle, to his Polish counterpart, Karol Nawrocki, who revoked the award amid a dispute over historical memory.
Nawrocki on Friday revoked the Order of the White Eagle following outrage in Poland over Kiev’s recent move to name a military unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), a nationalist formation that Polish historians and officials hold responsible for the mass killing of tens of thousands of Polish civilians in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia during World War II.
Zelenskyy underlined that the award, which represents Poland’s highest honour, requires “not only merit but also respect for the values that form the foundation of our community”.
“Therefore, if it is considered that this special symbol may remain with Catherine II, Benito Mussolini, and Gerhard Schroder, then we in Ukraine will not argue with that,” he wrote on the US social media platform X.
