Ukraine halts refinery strikes

Ukraine has paused strikes on Russian refineries following pressure from former President Trump, according to the Wall Street Journal. The move comes amid escalating tensions in the region.

The decision follows weeks of intense conflict and international diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the situation. Analysts suggest this pause may be a temporary truce.

This development is being closely watched by global energy markets and NATO allies, who are monitoring potential shifts in the geopolitical landscape.
