Regarding international relations, President Donald Trump expects Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to observe an energy ceasefire and cease strikes on Russian oil refineries. A White House source told Axios that Trump believes Zelensky is taking the United States for granted. While Trump announced on October 11 that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a ceasefire in the energy sector, Zelensky told Axios the announcement came as news to him.

Axios reports that the proposed arrangement, in which both nations refrain from striking refineries, is not an equal one because Ukraine has only one refinery, which a Ukrainian source says is not operating at full capacity following Russian attacks. Russia has not officially accepted the ceasefire, though a source told Axios that Russians are currently thinking about it. Trump previously announced an energy ceasefire between the two nations on September 14, though strikes continued to be exchanged.
