Ukraine has restarted attacks on Russian oil refineries after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv was \u201cdone\u201d complying with the energy ceasefire proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
Ukrainian drones struck Russia\u2019s Ryazan region overnight on 14\u201315 October, causing a fire at an oil refinery. Ryazan Governor Pavel Malkov reported damage to the refinery, a warehouse and vehicles, with no casualties.<\/p>\n
Ukraine had held off on targeting Russian refineries after Trump announced an energy ceasefire on 11 October, which he linked to rising diesel prices. Zelenskyy told the Financial Times that Russia continued striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure, so the restriction was lifted. \u201cThe block is out. We\u2019re done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Zelenskyy also criticised the Trump administration\u2019s business approach toward Moscow and its respect for long-serving leaders such as Vladimir Putin. Asked about easing strikes to improve relations with Washington, he said Ukraine\u2019s minimum demand would be additional Patriot interceptors.<\/p>\n
The same night, a Russian drone hit a Naftogaz gas production facility in Ukraine\u2019s Poltava region, starting a fire and halting operations.<\/p>\n
The Kremlin denied that any Ukrainian pause had taken place. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said strikes on Russian energy sites had continued and accused Kyiv of undermining U.S. peace efforts.<\/p>\n
