Key points

From South China Morning Post’s report
  • Russian aerial bombs hit residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia, killing at least 15 people.
  • Three children among the dead; at least 16 wounded, Ukrainian authorities say.
  • Trump announced a deal to buy Russian diesel; Kyiv warns it could fund Moscow’s war.
  • Ukraine vows to counter additional revenue Russia may gain from diesel exports.
  • Zelensky condemns the deal, calling it a weak decision by partners and a fuel for war.

Why it matters. The proposal ties reciprocal restraint to reducing damage to both countries’ energy systems.

What to watch. Watch whether Russia stops energy attacks and Ukraine then suspends refinery strikes.
