One person was killed and five others were wounded in the St. Petersburg attack.AP<\/p>\nUkrainian strikes set an oil export terminal and a depot ablaze in St. Petersburg on Sunday as Kyiv launched more than 1,000 drones at Russia in one of its largest aerial attacks of the war.<\/p>\n
The strikes came amid deepening tensions between Ukraine and Washington, with U.S. President Donald Trump criticizing Kyiv\u2019s attacks on Russian oil infrastructure and the prospect of further U.S. sanctions against Moscow still uncertain.<\/p>\n
One person was killed and five others were wounded in the St. Petersburg attack, which sparked fires at the Petersburg Oil Terminal and the city\u2019s Ruchi oil depot, local Gov. Alexander Beglov said. A logistics center belonging to Russian retailer Ozon and a data center operated by Russian tech giant VK were also targeted, the companies confirmed.<\/p>\n
Russia\u2019s Defense Ministry said Sunday that its forces had destroyed 1,015 Ukrainian drones over 15 Russian regions, the annexed Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea and the Black Sea.<\/p>\n

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Russian state news agency Tass that Kyiv was \u201cresisting\u201d Moscow\u2019s invasion but could not \u201cchange the current course of events.\u201d<\/p>\n
Future of U.S. sanctions still unclear<\/p>\n
The strikes came after Trump told reporters that they did not know what his decision on further sanctions against Russia would be, despite signing an executive order Friday night waiving planned restrictions, citing U.S. national interests.<\/p>\n
Speaking on NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet the Press\u201d on Sunday, Zelenskyy said waiving sanctions against Russia would strengthen Putin\u2019s war effort. He also said U.S.-Ukraine intelligence sharing had resumed after being \u201cblocked for some period of time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zelenskyy said that while he trusted Trump, siding with Moscow would be a tragedy and a \u201chistoric mistake\u201d for Washington.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople want to forget what\u2019s going on. But we can\u2019t give this possibility to forget, or to change reality, or to change the truth,\u201d Zelenskyy said. \u201cWe can\u2019t compare me and Putin. He\u2019s aggressor. He occupied us. He killed adults and children, his soldiers. He\u2019s a terrorist. And that\u2019s why I hope that President Trump will be very clear with this position.\u201d<\/p>\n

A woman was killed and a 6-year-old girl was among at least two other people wounded in two Russian attacks on the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, local officials said Sunday. Two apartment buildings, 18 cars and an educational institution were damaged in the attacks, Mykhailo Semikin, head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, said.<\/p>\n
Russia continues energy attacks, Kyiv says<\/p>\n
Trump announced on Oct. 11 that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an \u201cenergy ceasefire\u201d in the 4\u00bd-year-old war, but offered no details. Kyiv reported Russian attacks on energy sites after his announcement.<\/p>\n
Ukraine confirmed on Thursday that it had resumed attacks on Russian oil facilities after a three-day pause.<\/p>\n
Zelenskyy expressed outrage at Russia\u2019s continued aerial bombardment of Ukraine\u2019s energy infrastructure, in apparent defiance of Trump\u2019s call on Sunday for both sides to halt such attacks. The Ukrainian government initially said it was observing the ceasefire.<\/p>\n
In a post on X on Sunday, Zelenskyy said Russia had attacked Ukraine\u2019s energy, oil and gas sectors 76 times in the week since Trump\u2019s announcement.<\/p>\n
Energy facilities in four Ukrainian regions had been attacked overnight, leaving tens of thousands of families without power, he said, accusing Russia of trying to cause a blackout.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmerica should see that Russia is not taking any reciprocal steps in response to sanctions relief or agreements. On the contrary, they take every signal of an opportunity to make money as proof that their bet on war is paying off and they can keep fighting,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
Zelenskyy also stressed that the war was continuing because of Russia\u2019s invasion, not Ukraine\u2019s efforts to defend itself.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is Russia that must face pressure for peace to have a chance. Thank you to everyone who understands this and helps,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ukrainian strikes set an oil export terminal and a depot ablaze in St. Petersburg on Sunday as Kyiv…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":431430,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[202,204,203,199,201,200],"class_list":["post-431429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=431429"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/431429\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/431430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=431429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=431429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=431429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
