Ukraine suspends attacks on Russian refineries after pressure from Trump Ukraine's armed forces have temporarily stopped targeting Russian refineries, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing sources familiar with the operations. According to them, this decision was the result of several weeks of continuous pressure from the President of the United States, Donald Trump. The unofficial break, as the publication notes, began at the beginning of last week - at the height of the crisis in US-Ukraine relations. It is expected to last at least until the mid-term elections in the United States, and maybe even longer - until the end of November. According to the WSJ, the suspension was announced as Trump publicly called for Zelensky's replacement, and Elon Musk's SpaceX restricted Ukraine's use of Starlink satellite communications. Sources emphasize that the units of the Ukrainian army carrying out long-range attacks have been ordered to suspend them after the completion of the operations that have already begun.
