The oil depot in Velikiye Luki, Pskov region, in Russia, is fully engulfed in fire.

What is worth mentioning is that Russians actually tried to protect the facility using a fence and scaffolding. It evidently didn’t work.

Ukrainian and Russian officials are also meeting in Geneva today for U.S.-brokered peace talks, just days ahead of the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia is demanding that Ukraine give up 20% of the eastern region of Donetsk, which Ukraine refuses to do.

Zelensky says only a face-to-face with Putin can break the deadlock and is pushing for a leaders’ summit in Geneva (per Axios). But Putin doesn’t recognise Zelensky, doesn’t want peace, and has no incentive to show up.

So where exactly are these “talks” heading?

Zelenskiy told Axios that Trump is putting unfair pressure on Ukraine to make concessions in peace talks. He said Ukrainians would reject any referendum forcing Kyiv to cede uncaptured Donbas territory and called it “not fair” to target Ukraine publicly, not Russia.
