Zelensky Approves New Long-Range Strikes; Moscow Refinery Hit in Ukrainian Blitz

Ukraine escalates cross-border strikes, with a massive missile and drone barrage setting the Moscow Oil Refinery ablaze, while Zelensky approves 'new long-range operations' in response to Russian attacks. Kyiv also reports gains in Donetsk under Operation Vivaldi, and the US Army awards a $10.6M contract for Ukrainian Raybird drones. The strikes mark a significant intensification of Ukraine's deep-strike campaign against Russian energy infrastructure, though the full scope and impact remain unclear.
