Ukraine-Russia war latest: Kyiv’s bridge hit in fresh Russian air strike as Moscow vows to retaliate
The attacks come amid German chancellor Friedrich Merz’s visit to Ukraine show support for Zelensky
Reuters
What the coverage shows
Both Reuters and The Independent frame the story around Zelenskiy’s warning that Ukraine will target Russian oil refineries in response to a reported Russian change in strike policy. Reuters foregrounds its own exclusive interview and presents the refineries line as the central quote, while The Independent’s extract adds only that Ukrainian intelligence has reportedly gathered documentation about Putin authorising a “new doctrine.”
