Donald Trump Is Going to Be Mad: Ukraine Has Just Declared War on Russia’s Oil Refineries and Is Making ‘Fireballs’
Ukrainian drones hit a Ryazan oil refinery and damaged a warehouse and vehicles, according to local officials.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukraine resumed attacks on Russian oil refineries, with drones striking a facility in the Ryazan region overnight and into the morning of October 15.
- President Donald Trump's October 11 energy ceasefire announcement had previously prompted Ukraine to pause refinery strikes in response to global diesel price spikes. Zelenskyy announced the pause was over.
- Ryazan Governor Pavel Malkov reported a fire broke out at the refinery following the overnight drone assault. Property damage at the business is currently being assessed.
- Kremlin spokesperson Peskov claimed the strikes place Kyiv in "serious conflict" with United States peace efforts. The Kremlin denied that Kyiv had ever actually paused its campaign against Russian energy infrastructure.
- Zelenskyy stated his "minimum" requirement to mend fences with Washington is additional Patriot interceptors, while criticizing Trump's affinity for autocrats like Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump called for Zelenskyy to be replaced.
