Ukraine not planning to stop attacks on Russian oil refineries

Ukrainian President Zelensky confirms that operations against Russian oil refineries will continue as retaliation for attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. He notes that Russia shows no signs of reducing its assaults on critical infrastructure and lacks willingness to de-escalate violence. Zelensky mentioned that Ukraine has been more cautious in its retaliatory strikes at the urging of the U.S. and European allies, fearing the unpredictable nature of former President Trump, who has sided with Russia ahead of U.S. midterm elections. He believes long-range attacks are essential to compel Russia to engage in genuine negotiations, supported by pressure from Ukraine's allies.
