An oil refinery in the Saratov region, 840 kilometers southeast of Moscow, burns.

It was attacked again following the 8th, and Ukraine said on the 14th that it had carried out the largest attack on military facilities on Russian territory.

Russian forces also launched large-scale drone strikes and announced they had taken control of two settlements in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region.

President-elect Trump, who is set to take office on the 20th, has repeatedly expressed his desire to meet Russian President Putin quickly.

[Donald Trump / U.S. President-elect] Putin wants to meet. He has said that publicly, and we must end that terrible war.]

Earlier, he also said he sympathized with Russia's opposition to Ukraine's accession to NATO.

[Donald Trump / U.S. President-elect: Russia has someone right in front of the door, and I understand how they feel.]

In response, the Russian government also welcomed it.

[Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov: The fact that Trump's side has begun to mention the reality of the scene more often is welcome]Minister

Labrov said he was also ready to meet Russia and that he would study the Trump administration's peace plan in Ukraine.

President-elect Trump's meeting with Putin seems to take place soon,
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy also met with NATO allies and appealed for support for a peace deal.

[Volodymyr Zelensky / President of Ukraine] Our people need not just protection, but corresponding weapons and knowledge.]

Germany and other European countries have expressed their intention to join Ukraine for now, but there is no guarantee.

This is because it is impossible to predict what other pressure cards will come out this time when President-elect Trump, who has set himself up with EU countries for defense spending, meets with President Putin.
