Russia has accused Ukraine of violating a US-brokered deal after an overnight drone strike targeted an oil refinery in a Russian region south of Moscow.
The Kremlin framed the attack as a direct contradiction of American efforts to broker peace. Ukraine’s reported strike, in Moscow’s telling, suggests the diplomatic process is proceeding with its usual abundance of mutual trust.
What did Russia say about the agreement?
Russia said its diesel had begun reaching global markets following an agreement with US President Donald Trump. Moscow connected that development to the wider US-led push for peace, arguing that the refinery attack ran against those efforts.
The accusation came on 15 October 2026. The report did not provide further details about the refinery, the damage caused, or the specific terms of the arrangement cited by Russia.
