Russian missiles and drones hit four Ukrainian regions at night.
Officials said five people died.
This news came on Tuesday.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his forces hit two more Russian oil refineries.
These were long-range strikes.
The attacks went on.
But the front line did not change much.
Zelenskyy will meet U.S. President Donald Trump in New York.
Other world leaders will be there too.
They will meet at the U.N. General Assembly.
Zelenskyy wants help to end the war.
Russia's full-scale invasion is more than 4½ years old.
Trump told Zelenskyy to stop strikes on Russian oil refineries.
He also said stop strikes on other fuel sites.
Trump said these strikes cause shortages and higher prices.
Kyiv started hitting refineries.
Moscow attacked Ukraine's power grid many times.
Zelenskyy said he will stop these strikes.
But Russia must stop attacks on energy sites.
Zelenskyy also wants help for Ukrainian grain.
The grain goes to world markets through the Black Sea.
Russian attacks on cargo ships have hurt Kyiv's exports badly.
Russia and Ukraine gave about 30% of world wheat exports.
They gave 12% of corn exports.
This was in recent years.
Most went through the Black Sea.
Last month, attacks cut both countries' farm exports by two-thirds.
Thomas de Waal said this.
He works at the Carnegie Europe think tank.
He said this in a report on Tuesday.
He said the missing grain puts some African countries at risk of famine.
French President Emmanuel Macron said France will send Ukraine more radar systems.
These will help protect Ukraine's power grid.
Macron said he talked with Trump.
They talked about a possible truce.
The truce would stop strikes on energy sites.
They also talked about a stop to attacks in the Black Sea.
Zelenskyy started his New York visit.
He met U.S. senators.
He thanked them for support from both parties.
In Kyiv, a resident named Iryna Panina spoke.
She said she lost hope in world peace efforts.
