Story summary

As of October 15, 2026, Ukraine resumed strikes against Russian oil refineries, including an attack on a facility in the Ryazan region southeast of Moscow. This decision follows President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's announcement that Ukraine would end its two-day pause in attacks initiated after US President Donald Trump declared an "energy ceasefire." Despite halting its own strikes for those days, Zelenskiy accused Russia of continuing to attack Ukrainian energy infrastructure and criticized the U.S. for cutting intelligence support and slowing down Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite communications service, which hindered Ukraine's defensive operations. Zelenskiy also expressed frustration with Trump's favoritism towards Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
