On October 12, 2026, it became known that former US President Donald Trump is proposing a concept of "energy truce" between Ukraine and Russia. According to information provided by Axios, this truce implies that both sides should cease attacks on each other's oil refineries (NPPs).
The Essence of Trump's Proposal
A senior US official noted that this is exactly what is expected from Ukraine within the framework of the proposed truce. This means that Ukraine should refrain from attacking Russian NPPs while Russia is expected to do the same regarding Ukrainian facilities.
State of Ukrainian Oil Refineries
Currently, there is only one oil refinery in Ukraine that is not operating at full capacity. This may complicate the fulfillment of the conditions proposed by Trump, as the limited capabilities of the Ukrainian energy sector could affect the country's ability to respond to demands for ceasing attacks.
