Zelenskiy said Ukraine attacked oil refineries in Russia's Krasnodar and Yaroslavl regions.

HEZBOLLAH leader said the Israel-Lebanon framework agreement is invalid, vowed to continue pressure until Israel withdraws from Lebanon, and urged the Lebanese government to abandon the framework.

NETANYAHU said at a March 27 press conference the framework agreement with Lebanon is a "historic achievement" that advances ending the bilateral conflict and could lead to a final peace. He said the deal is a major blow to Iran and Hezbollah. The agreement, he said, reflects US and Lebanese assent for Israel to retain a security zone inside Lebanon for a period "as needed" — until Hezbollah and other armed groups are disarmed and Lebanon no longer poses a threat to Israel. As a pilot to hand territory to the Lebanese army and remove Hezbollah control, Israel will withdraw from two small currently held areas: one entirely outside the security zone and one at its edge that Israeli forces no longer need. NETANYAHU said Israel effectively retains all security-zone depth required to defend its northern border.
