Ukraine pauses strikes on Russian oil refineries after Trump pressure

nos.nl (Dutch) —

Ukraine has paused airstrikes on Russian oil refineries following weeks of pressure from US President Trump, according to The Wall Street Journal. The unofficial halt began last week and may last past the US midterm elections. US-Ukraine relations have hit a low point, with Trump suggesting Ukraine needs new leadership and announcing a deal with Putin on sanctions and diesel. Starlink also limited drone speeds, which Ukraine disputed. Russia and Ukraine have traded strikes on energy infrastructure for months. A person died in Russian attacks on Kyiv, and an IAEA worker was killed at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
