Ukraine Strikes Oil Targets as Talks Stall

Ukraine Strikes Oil Targets as Talks Stall

Author: The Daily News Now! June 8, 2026 Duration: 2:01

Ukraine’s strikes on Russian oil facilities are sending shockwaves through Moscow’s economy, while a surprising diplomatic twist emerges as Roman Abramovich allegedly acted as a messenger between Zelenskyy and Putin. Amid escalating drone warfare — with Russia claiming to shoot down hundreds of Ukrainian drones and Ukraine countering with successful defenses — the EU pushes new sanctions targeting Russia’s military and propaganda machine. Zelenskyy remains open to talks with Putin outside Russia or Belarus, but insists on holding onto Donbas. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian drone strike in Crimea kills one and injures another, halting train services across the peninsula — underscoring the brutal human cost of this war.
