Ukraine's military announced on July 29 that it successfully targeted a major oil refinery and logistics center in Ryazan, Russia, approximately 400 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. The attack resulted in a fire breaking out at the refinery, which is owned by Rosneft and has a production capacity of around 17 million tons of oil annually, accounting for about 5% of Russia's total refining output.

The Ryazan refinery has frequently been a target in Ukraine's assaults on Russian oil infrastructure. A previous strike in May had forced the refinery to halt operations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the attack on the oil facility and the logistics center, although he did not specify the names involved. Reports suggest that the logistics center mentioned is a warehouse operated by the e-commerce giant Wildberries, which is believed to supply various dual-use items for the battlefield, including body armor and drone cables.

Following the attack, Wildberries announced it would "temporarily restrict" access to its warehouse in Ryazan. Pavel Malkov, the governor of Ryazan, reported that six individuals were hospitalized due to the drone strike, with debris from the UAV causing fires at several unspecified industrial sites.

Zelensky emphasized the need for Ukraine to weaken its adversary and maintain pressure to shorten the duration of the ongoing conflict. He stated, "Russia must feel that each passing day of this war will only come at a higher cost for them." The Ukrainian General Staff also reported strikes against a speedboat base near Mizhvodne in Crimea and a Russian radar station near Pochep in Bryansk province.

In Donetsk province, Ukrainian forces targeted a site used for storing, preparing, and launching suicide drones, as well as a logistics warehouse in Portivske and a bridge near Vyselky, which the Russian military utilized for logistical purposes. These new attacks come shortly after Zelensky's visit to Washington on July 28, where he met with President Donald Trump to secure additional U.S. support in the fight against Russia. Zelensky described the meeting as "very good," and Trump echoed this sentiment on social media.
