Ukraine strikes Russian Samara oil hub as Moscow claims Kharkiv gains, Trump’s warning to Zelenskyy

Ukrainian forces struck a key Russian oil dispatch station in Samara Oblast on Saturday, while Russia said that its troops captured two settlements in the Kharkiv region. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that it targeted the Samara facility for the second time in a week, with the specific damage still being assessed. The station is a critical hub in Russia's Urals crude export system, receiving, storing and blending crude of varying quality into a uniform grade for distribution to domestic refineries or export terminals.
