Kremlin: Kiev ignores Trump's demands, will not attack refineries without European backing Kiev ignores Trump's persistent demands to stop attacking Russian refineries, said Putin's foreign policy aide, Yuri Ushkov, adding that Ukraine would hardly dare such attacks without European support. During the night, Ukrainian drones hit the Rosneft-owned Novokuybyshevsk refinery in the Samara region, one of the largest in the Volga region. Ukrainian UAV manufacturer Point of Fire confirmed that its FP-1 UAVs hit a plant, including a diesel processing unit. Photographs from the site showed fires in several places. The attack came just hours after the Wall Street Journal reported that Kiev had quietly halted refinery strikes in mid-October under pressure from Trump, who blames them for rising US gas prices ahead of the Nov. 3 midterms.
