Ukraine's military has suspended strikes against Russian refineries following weeks of pressure from President Trump and growing uncertainty about American support, according to the WSJ. The unofficial lull began in mid-October and is expected to last until after the US midterm elections, and may extend further into November. Ukrainian military units carrying out long-range attacks have been ordered to stop the attacks on the refineries after operations that have already begun are completed, although no official government order has been issued.
