UKRAINE RESUMES STRIKES ON RUSSIAN OIL REFINERIES AS STARLINK ROW DEEPENS RIFT WITH WASHINGTON
Ukraine has resumed attacks on Russian oil infrastructure after a brief pause, striking Rosneft’s major Ryazan refinery on October 15 after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia had continued attacking Ukrainian energy facilities despite an informal ceasefire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump. Separately, restrictions affecting Starlink and Starshield disrupted Ukrainian drone and battlefield operations. Elon Musk said Starshield restrictions are controlled by the U.S. military and president, while the White House denies ordering the slowdown, leaving responsibility disputed.
