Report: Ukraine suspends attacks on Russian oil refineries under pressure from Trump

The Wall Street Journal reported that Ukraine suspended its attacks on Russian oil refineries following pressure from US President Donald Trump, as part of Washington's efforts to revive negotiations to end the war between Moscow and Kyiv. According to sources cited by the newspaper, Ukrainian military units responsible for long-range strikes received instructions in mid-October to halt the campaign against oil refineries, immediately after completing ongoing operations. The decision, which has not been officially announced, is expected to last beyond the US midterm elections and possibly until late November. This comes as Russia continues to intensify its attacks on energy facilities and civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, increasing pressure on Kyiv amid the ongoing war.
