On October 13, 2026, Russia refrained from targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure for the first time since a ceasefire announcement by President Trump, who lifted sanctions on Russian diesel exports. Despite this, Russian missile strikes continued on Ukrainian cities, resulting in casualties in Kharkiv and other areas. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine would continue its strikes on Russian energy sites until Russia halts its attacks on Ukraine. The U.S. has warned Ukraine that it could cut off intelligence sharing if Ukraine does not cease its long-range strikes on Russian oil refineries. The situation remains tense as both sides navigate the implications of the ceasefire and ongoing military actions. Analysts suggest that the U.S. sanctions and the Iran war are significant factors in rising diesel prices, contrary to Trump's claims that Ukraine's actions are to blame.
