  "summary": "Donald Trump reportedly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to stop Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries during a recent phone call. This stance appears to differ from the Biden administration's policy, which restricts the use of US long-range missiles to hit targets inside Russia.\n\nAccording to the Asia Times, Trump's request or demand marks a strategic disconnect. The details of the phone call and the Biden administration's policy were not fully elaborated on in the reports.\n\nUkraine has been engaging in various military actions against Russia, including hitting fuel depots in Krasnodar Krai, southern Russia, and targeting railways in Bryansk, a launchpad for Russian strikes on Kyiv. Euromaidan Press reported that Ukraine's military has also made local gains on the Pokrovsk front and captured Russian soldiers.",
