Ukraine Defies US Pressure, Resumes Attacks on Russian Oil Refineries

Ukraine has reportedly resumed drone attacks on Russian oil refineries, including the Kstovo and Samara facilities, despite pressure from the US to halt such strikes ahead of midterm elections. Russian officials stated that Kyiv is "simply ignoring" US wishes, while Ukrainian officials denied agreeing to a pause. This defiance comes as President Trump has blamed Ukrainian President Zelenskyy for rising global fuel prices.
