Ukraine reportedly pauses long-range strikes on Russian oil refineries after pressure from Trump
The Wall Street Journal reported that Ukrainian units conducting long-range strikes were told in mid-October that the refinery campaign was effectively on hold after in-flight missions concluded. The pause is expected to last past the US midterm elections and possibly deeper into November. Trump had grown frustrated with Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure as diesel prices hit record highs.
