UKRAINE has blitzed Moscow again after they accused Vladimir Putin of seeking to thwart Donald Trump’s ceasefire demand.
A major oil refinery just 55 miles from the Kremlin dictator’s £1 billion clifftop palace on the Black Sea was also hit in a strike triggering ten explosions followed by a massive inferno.

The strikes come just three days after Ukraine launched one of their biggest drone attacks of the war so far.
Russian air defences were left scrambling to shoot down over 337 drones across 10 different regions with Moscow and Kursk the main targets.
Vnukovo airport – used by Trump envoy Steve Witkoff to depart Moscow on his Gulfstream G650ER business jet after meeting Putin and his top officials – was closed following he left due to the intense drone bombardment.
It was the second concerted Ukrainian attack on Moscow in three days, and appeared a direct response to Putin setting multiple conditions for any ceasefire.
An area close to Kievskaya station, named after the Ukrainian capital, reportedly came under fire.
This is across Moscow River from both the to the Russian White House, seat of Putin’s government, and the British Embassy.
An explosion was heard in the area of main avenue Kutuzovsky Prospekt at approximately just before 7am.
“After the explosion, car alarms went off en masse,” said an eyewitness.
This was close to Putin’s usual highway route from his official Novo-Ogaryovo residence in Moscow to the Kremlin.
Another hit close to Shabolovskaya metro station, near Leninsky Prospekt.
One strike damaged the roof of a residential block on Kievskaya Street, and the windows of a residential building on Lesteva Street were shattered.
