A Ukrainian drone strike set a fuel facility ablaze in Russia's Rostov region (a southern area bordering Ukraine) hours after US President Donald Trump announced a deal under which Russia would ship more than 300,000 tonnes of diesel to US and global markets; the regional governor said over 50 drones were intercepted and no one was hurt. The deal, struck in a call with Vladimir Putin, was criticised by US lawmakers, European allies and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who called it a "gift to Putin". Putin also told Trump that an immediate resumption of trilateral peace talks is unlikely, citing Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow during last month's parliamentary elections.
