“We’ll Stop If Russia Stops”: Zelensky Sets Condition for Halting Strikes on Russian Oil Refineries

President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine would suspend strikes on Russian oil refineries if Russia halts attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, calling for reciprocal de-escalation with real guarantees. His remarks followed criticism from former US President Donald Trump over fuel prices and a deal to release Russian diesel. Russian strikes have repeatedly damaged Ukrainian power systems, causing outages.
