On October 11, 2026, US President Donald Trump announced an energy ceasefire that pertains only to attacks on oil refineries (ORFs) in Ukraine. This decision was confirmed by an unnamed representative of the White House, according to Axios.
Terms of the Ceasefire
According to the information, Trump expects Ukraine to adhere to the conditions of this ceasefire. If attacks on ORFs cease, the next step may involve an agreement to refrain from attacks on power plants and other energy infrastructure facilities.
Current Status of ORFs in Ukraine
As of now, there are no functioning oil refineries in Ukraine. The largest one, located in Kremenchuk in the Poltava region, has been repeatedly attacked since the beginning of the war. This highlights the challenging situation in the country's energy sector, where the destruction of infrastructure has significantly impacted energy supply capabilities.
