Oil facilities hit in deadly overnight attack on St Petersburg
Deadly overnight attack hitting oil facilities signals supply disruption risk.
Context
What happened: An overnight attack on St Petersburg targeted two oil facilities, the St Petersburg Oil Terminal and the Ruchyi oil depot, killing at least one person and injuring at least five.
Why it matters: Ukraine had paused strikes on Russian oil facilities for three days after the ceasefire announcement, then resumed this week, drawing criticism from Trump, who called for a truce to facilitate a diesel deal with Vladimir Putin. Zelensky suggested the US diesel deal was tantamount to investing in Russia's war effort.
