ZAPORIZHZHIA: Russian strike killed at least 20, including children, hours after fuel agreement.
Zelensky linked the timing directly to Washington’s decision to resume diesel exports to Ukraine.
Glide bombs are satellite-guided weapons dropped from aircraft outside air defense range.
The attack marks one of the deadliest single strikes on the city this year.
◆ Why it matters
The timing suggests Moscow is signaling that Western fuel supplies will be met with escalation, not deterrence. Zelensky is making that calculation explicit to keep pressure on allies who still worry about provoking Russia. Expect more strikes on energy infrastructure and population centers as spring campaigning begins and both sides test each other’s resolve before any negotiation window opens.
