Story summary

On October 16, 2026, Ukraine abandoned a brief truce and attacked a Russian oil refinery near Ryazan, following President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's statement that he felt betrayed by U.S. President Donald Trump over intelligence sharing and restrictions on the use of Starlink satellite services. This decision came after Russia continued its aerial bombardment of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure despite Trump's call for a ceasefire. Zelenskyy accused Trump of prioritizing relations with Russia, which has exacerbated tensions between Kyiv and Washington. In response to Ukraine's resumption of strikes, Trump called it "a disgrace" and emphasized that there are alternative targets besides oil refineries, suggesting that such actions were driving up global oil prices ahead of the U.S. midterm elections. Trump also expressed frustration with Zelenskyy’s approach to peace negotiations, stating he finds him more difficult to work with than Russian President Vladimir Putin. The renewed conflict further complicates diplomatic efforts to end Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
