> Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said Ukraine attacked oil refineries in the Saratov and Ryazan regions on October 14, without identifying them. Authorities in either region did not report refinery strikes, and monitoring channels had no reports of explosions or fires. Trump said on October 11 that Russia and Ukraine had agreed not to attack each other’s refineries. Volodymyr Zelensky said the announcement was news to him, then said Ukrainian forces had received relevant orders, without explicitly confirming an agreement to halt the strikes.
