Ukraine says a Russian drone strike deliberately hit a U.S.-owned Bunge sunflower oil plant in Dnipro on January 5, spilling around 300 tons of oil onto major roads, sparking a fire, damaging cars and power lines, and forcing days‑long traffic disruption as emergency crews work to contain the slick with sand and absorbents. Dnipro’s mayor and Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha frame the attack as part of a systematic Russian campaign against American businesses in Ukraine—from Boeing offices in Kyiv to electronics plants in Zakarpattia—arguing that Putin is targeting U.S. property despite Donald Trump’s peace efforts, and urging faster movement on a peace process alongside stronger Ukrainian air defenses and tougher sanctions so Moscow pays a serious price for refusing to reciprocate Kyiv’s diplomatic steps.
