Ukraine resumes refinery strikes after Trump energy ceasefire fails

Ukraine struck an oil refinery in Russia's Ryazan region on October 15, ending a short pause in attacks on Russian energy sites. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said his country was "done" with the energy ceasefire and would restart refinery strikes. The ceasefire had been announced by Donald Trump on October 13, but neither Russia nor Ukraine had agreed to it publicly. Ukraine stopped attacking Russian energy sites for a few days after Trump's announcement. Russia, however, kept hitting Ukrainian infrastructure throughout this period. On October 15, Russia launched a record number of drones at energy sites in central Ukraine, including power plants in Kharkiv. For months, both sides have been targeting each other's energy infrastructure, causing serious disruption to supplies.
