Ukraine's president has made a defiant decision to continue attacking Russian oil refineries, The New York Times reported on October 15.

The newspaper presents the move as evidence that U.S. President Donald Trump has been unable to end the war in Ukraine, even though he had promised to resolve it. In its account, Trump's deal with Russia has inflamed the conflict rather than calmed it.

The source text is very brief, so the terms of the deal, the scale of the strikes and other details are not available here. What is clear is that Kyiv is not backing away from hitting Russia's oil industry, and that the war continues despite the American president's pledge to end it.
