'Ukraine pauses attacks on Russian oil refineries under Trump pressure'

Ukraine has temporarily halted airstrikes on Russian oil refineries following pressure from President Trump, as reported by The Wall Street Journal. This pause, effective since early last week, is expected to last until after the U.S. midterm elections or longer. Relations between Ukraine and the U.S. have deteriorated, with Trump suggesting Ukraine needs new leadership. Additionally, Starlink limited drone speeds, impacting Ukraine's military operations. Despite claims of a temporary agreement between Russia and Ukraine to avoid attacking each other's energy targets, Ukraine resumed strikes after alleging Russia's non-compliance. Recent Russian attacks in Kyiv resulted in casualties and damage, while an IAEA staff member was killed in a drone strike at Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
