  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky declared on October 15, 2026 that Ukraine has resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries, ending a three-day halt requested by U.S. President Donald Trump. Zelensky claimed Russia had not complied with a supposed energy ceasefire, continuing to target Ukraine's energy infrastructure and causing the deaths of approximately 100 civilians in the preceding week. The Ukrainian leader stated, \"The block [on attacking refineries] is out. We’re done\" during an interview with the Financial Times.\n\nOne of the first strikes after the pause was reported to have targeted the Ryazan oil refinery, owned by Rosneft and a major fuel supplier for Moscow and the surrounding region. Ukrainian media claimed a flare was seen over the refinery, and authorities in Ryazan confirmed a fire had broken out, with damage to a warehouse and vehicles on the site. Russian authorities disputed these claims, stating they had shot down the drones and missiles, and that a fire was caused by falling debris.\n\nRussian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak had previously stated on October 14 that Ukraine had attacked two oil refineries, one in Saratov and one in Ryazan. However, witnesses in the Ryazan region and authorities had not reported any attacks on the refineries, and Novak's claims remain unverified. Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov dismissed Zelensky's remarks, claiming there had been no moratorium on Ukraine's part and that strikes on Russian oil refineries and energy facilities had continued throughout the period. He accused Ukrainian authorities and Zelensky of not wanting to make peace.",
