Trump said Russia and Ukraine agreed to stop attacking oil refineries. Three days later, Moscow alleges two Ukrainian strikes — neither reported by regional authorities.

On October 14, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak claimed that Ukraine had attacked two oil refineries located in the Saratov and Ryazan regions. However, neither regional authorities nor the Energy Ministry confirmed any such attacks that day. Saratov Governor Yury Slyusar stated that over 160 drones had been destroyed or neutralized in the region, but he emphasized that there were no reports of casualties or ground impacts.

Governor Roman Busargin of Saratov reported a civilian fatality and residential building damage in Balakovo, home to a Sber data center, but he did not mention an attack on the region's sole oil refinery. Despite the absence of any substantiated reports of Russian oil refinery strikes, U.S. President Donald Trump had asserted on October 11 that an agreement between Russia and Ukraine prevented attacks on each other's oil refineries.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledged the announcement as news to him, though he later claimed to have received the relevant orders from his armed forces to halt such attacks, but he did not formally confirm the agreement.
