Russia-Ukraine war news: Kremlin blames Kyiv for Crimea oil depot fire



Russia accused Ukraine of carrying out Saturday’s drone attack on a fuel depot in Crimea, the peninsula illegally annexed by the Kremlin in 2014. Ukraine hasn’t claimed responsibility for the strike, which comes as Kyiv is preparing for a long anticipated spring counteroffensive to retake territory seized by Moscow.

“The enemy … wanted to take Sevastopol by surprise, as usual on the sly, staging an attack in the morning,” the port city’s Kremlin-appointed governor, Mikhail Razvozhaev, wrote on Telegram, without providing evidence for his claim. He said that only one drone reached the fuel depot — a second was destroyed by servicemen on surveillance duty — and the fire has since been extinguished. No casualties were reported.
