Ukraine will stop hitting refineries if Russia halts energy attacks, Zelenskyy says
He said any pause would be reciprocal and require real guarantees as Kyiv faces U.S. pressure to stop strikes on Russian refineries.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries, demanding the Ukrainian leader stop the attacks and suggesting he be replaced.

- Responding on Sunday, Zelensky insisted Russia alone is responsible for the war and stated Kyiv would suspend refinery attacks only if Moscow stops targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
