On October 15 local time, a reporter from the Central Station learned that Ukrainian President Zelensky stated in an interview that Ukraine will resume strikes on Russian oil refineries.

He mentioned that at the request of the United States, Ukraine had stopped attacking Russian energy infrastructure for 3 days.

Zelensky also noted that during the "energy ceasefire," Ukraine did not receive warnings from the United States regarding Russian ballistic missile attacks on Ukraine, and the restrictions on the use of the Starlink system made it difficult for frontline operations and strikes on Russian military facilities.
