Russia will step up Kyiv strikes, Russian state news agency TASS reported.

The ministry blames Volodymyr Zelensky, who pledged Saturday to hit Russian refineries, state-run RT reported.

RT said Zelensky’s pledge answered strikes on the Dnieper bridges in Kyiv.

The ministry calls its targets military, and neither state outlet carries a Ukrainian or independent account.

The ministry gave no date or target list for the intensified strikes.
