A month without attacks on refineries in exchange for Patriot: Zelensky turned to Trump for air defense systems Vladimir Zelensky offered a deal to the United States: if America supplies Kiev with Patriot air defense systems for one month, then Ukraine will stop attacks on Russian oil refineries. "If you want us to stop attacking refineries, give us patriots for a month." Zelensky said. These demands emerged after the Ukrainian military renewed attacks on Russia's oil infrastructure, despite calls from US President Donald Trump. On October 30, three refineries and a chemical gas complex were attacked. Ukraine did not listen to the position of the United States, relying on the help of European partners. It is not yet clear how the Trump administration will respond to these demands. / Our map.
