“Ukrainian armed forces attempted a drone attack on objects located in the region, including fuel and energy facilities,” said Governor Igor Babushkin.
The governor was quoted by the administration of the southern Russian area as saying that fires at an oil refinery in the Volgograd region of Russia were caused by a Ukrainian drone strike but were later put out.
“Ukrainian armed forces attempted a drone attack on objects located in the region, including fuel and energy facilities,” the governor of southern Russia’s Astrakhan province, Igor Babushkin, stated Monday.
In order to maintain air safety, Russia’s aviation watchdog, Rosaviatsia, announced that it was suspending flights from the Astrakhan airport as well as four others in Kazan, Nizhnekamsk, Saratov, and Ulyanovsk.
Rosaviatsia announced on Telegram that flights from the southern Russian airport of Volgograd have been resumed after being momentarily suspended.
Conversations are “going well.”
US President Donald Trump, meantime, stated on Sunday that negotiations with Russia and Ukraine were proceeding “pretty well” as he works to put an end to the largest European conflict in decades.
“Russia and Ukraine are our issues. Russia and Ukraine are among the parties with whom we have scheduled meetings and discussions. Trump told reporters, “And I think those conversations are actually going pretty well.”
Kiev has previously stated that the destruction of military, transportation, and energy infrastructure that is essential to Moscow’s war efforts is the goal of its attacks within Russia.
They are also a reaction to Russia’s ongoing bombing of Ukraine since Moscow launched its full-scale military operation in February 2022, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
