US temporarily lifts Russian diesel sanctions after Trump-Putin call; Ukraine pledges to keep striking refineries
On October 9, President Donald Trump announced an "extremely successful" phone call with Vladimir Putin and an agreement for Russia to supply millions of tons of diesel fuel.

A senior Ukrainian official told the Financial Times Kyiv would continue long-range drone strikes on Russian oil refineries regardless.
