Ukrainian Drones Strike Targets Deep Inside Russia, Wildberries Hit Again - Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty

Ukrainian drones struck multiple targets deep inside Russia on July 29, 2026, hitting an oil refinery and a logistics center of Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, as Kyiv expands its long-range strike campaign to pressure Moscow toward negotiations after more than four years of war.
The Wildberries logistics center in the Ryazan region was reportedly hit in at least the 10th attack on the company's facilities; Wildberries said it evacuated warehouse staff under safety procedures, with no immediate reports of casualties.
Ukraine's military confirmed a direct hit on the Rosneft-owned Ryazan oil refinery, one of Russia's largest at nearly 5 percent of national refining capacity, sparking a fire; the facility had already suspended operations after a Ukrainian strike on May 15.
Ryazan Governor Pavel Malkov reported fires at industrial sites from falling drone debris, said 45 drones were downed over the region overnight, and confirmed six people were hospitalized without life-threatening injuries.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said an oil refinery in the Perm region, plus an export terminal and a military enterprise in the Rostov region, were also targeted overnight, writing that Russia must feel the war's rising cost each day.
The strikes followed Zelenskyy's visit to Washington the previous day, where he met with US President Donald Trump and separately with the entire Senate, though few details of those discussions were disclosed.
