Ukraine, despite Trump, renewed the attacks on Russian refineries. The Guardian Ukraine has renewed its attacks on Russian refineries, despite pressure from Donald Trump ahead of the mid-term elections in the United States. According to the Russian authorities, drones caused a fire at night at the Kastovo oil refinery in the Nizhny Novgorod region. It happened shortly after an attack on a large factory in the Samara region. In the past it was reported that the White House asked to stop the attacks, but Kiev announced that it does not agree to the cessation of attacks for 30 days. Zelensky did not confirm new attacks on the refinery. Instead, he reported the defeat of a defense plant in the Rostov region and the destruction of the Phantsir complex.
