The massive drone strike on two natural gas compressor stations and a missile storage site in Russia is set to create major financial loss from the Kremlin.

The bombardment came just days after the United States said it was suspending intelligence sharing with Ukraine.

Russian forces damaged Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure overnight in their first major missile attack since the U.S. paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine, piling pressure on Kyiv as President Donald Trump seeks a swift end to the war.

Russia attacked Ukrainian energy and gas infrastructure, causing damage to Naftogaz gas production sites, according to Ukrainian officials.

Ternopil governor Viacheslav Nehoda said the attack struck a critical industrial facility in the western region and announced possible limits on gas supplies. Ukraine’s air defence shot down a missile and there were no reported casualties, he said in a post on the Telegram messaging app.

Russia and Ukraine traded heavy aerial blows overnight Saturday, with both sides reporting more than 100 enemy drones over their respective territories

President Donald Trump appealed to Russian President Vladimir Putin to spare the lives of thousands of Ukrainian troops he said were in a “very bad and vulnerable position” and avoid what he said would be a massacre unlike anything since World War II.
