According to Walla, Ukraine stopped strikes inside Russia following American pressure. According to Arutz Sheva, the Wall Street Journal reported that the pause on strikes against refineries is expected to last at least until after the US midterm elections, and may also be extended into November. Sources who spoke with the paper said the decision was made last week, at the height of the crisis in relations between Washington and Kyiv.

According to Behadrei Haredim, senior officials in Ukraine report that the military has halted strikes on Russian oil facilities, and this unofficial pause is expected to last at least until after the US midterm elections. According to Israel Hayom, Ukrainian drones struck a fuel facility in Novokuybyshevsk during the night and caused a series of fires at the site, and Zelensky refuses to give up the strikes.

According to Israel Hayom, in Moscow they claim that Kyiv is not responding to the request of the US president to stop the strikes on Russian refineries.
