Ukraine is set to resume strikes on Russian oil refineries after a three-day pause, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
Zelensky said the pause had ended following fresh Russian attacks. He also referred to attempts by the United States to pressure Kyiv, linking those efforts to the decision to restart the strikes.
The statement indicates that Ukraine’s temporary halt to attacks on Russian refining facilities will not continue. However, no details were provided about the nature of the fresh Russian attacks, the US pressure mentioned by Zelensky or the timing and targets of any further Ukrainian action.
The latest known position is that Kyiv intends to resume strikes against Russian oil refineries. Further developments will depend on whether attacks are carried out and on any subsequent statements from Ukraine, Russia or the United States.
