Trump forced Kiev to suspend attacks on Russian refineries Ukraine has temporarily halted attacks on Russian refineries after weeks of pressure from Washington, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing sources. According to the publication, the unofficial ban began to take effect early last week. The units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine responsible for long-range offensives have been ordered to complete operations that have already begun and to suspend new operations. The decision coincided with a sharp deterioration in relations between Kyiv and Washington. Trump has talked publicly about replacing Zelensky, and SpaceX has restricted Ukraine's use of Starlink satellite communications. WSJ sources say the break will last at least until the midterm elections in the United States. Its extension until the end of November is not included. There is no official confirmation of the agreement yet. Ostashko! Important at TG We're Max - read the news without interruptions and a VPN.
