Russia hits petrol station, warehouse facilities in Kyiv, Mayor argues: A practical reader guide

A drone hit a petrol station in Ukraine’s capital of Kyiv early on Tuesday (September 15, 2026), Mayor Vitali Klitschko ‌said on the Telegram messaging app, adding that there was also a strike on ‌warehouse facilities in another part of the city.

The attack ⁠comes after U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday (September 14) that Ukraine and Russia had agreed not to hit each other’s energy ​targets. In Russia, which invaded Ukraine in 2022, ‌a Ukraine missile attack has damaged a warehouse of the e-commerce company Ozon in the southern port city of Taganrog, among other facilities, regional governor said on Telegram.

As Moscow was striking Ukraine, neighbouring ​Poland has commenced military aviation operations as a preventive measure to secure its airspace, Poland’s ⁠Armed Forces said in a statement on social media website X. Separately, a drone attack has hit an industrial facility in Samara region on the Volga ‌River, Governor Vyacheslav Fedorishchev said on Telegram, without naming it. ​The region is home to a number of large oil refineries. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday that ⁠Kyiv was ready to support a U.S. proposal for a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire on energy sites ‌only if Washington could ensure Moscow was genuinely ready to end its war on Ukraine.
