According to the Wall Street Journal, Ukraine's military has halted its attacks on Russian refineries due to pressure from President Trump in recent weeks and growing uncertainty about US support. The unofficial shutdown began in mid-October and is expected to last until after the US midterm elections, possibly as late as mid-November. Ukrainian military units conducting long-range strikes have been ordered to stop attacks on refineries after the ongoing operation ends, although no official government orders have been issued.
