**The short version**

- Ukraine has resumed attacks on Russian oil refineries, ending an energy truce.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky announced the end of restraint on attacking Russian energy infrastructure.
- The Russian Defense Ministry reported intercepting four Flamingo cruise missiles and 69 drones targeting the Ryazan oil refinery.
- Governor Pável Málkov confirmed a fire at the Ryazan refinery but stated there were no injuries.

Ukraine has resumed attacks on Russian oil refineries, with President Volodymyr Zelensky announcing an end to an energy truce. The move follows a unilateral ceasefire proposal by former US President Donald Trump, which was not confirmed by Russia or Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that the attack on the Ryazan refinery occurred on Thursday night and was repelled.

The Russian Defense Ministry reported that its forces intercepted and destroyed four Flamingo cruise missiles and 69 drones during the Ukrainian attack on the Ryazan oil refinery. Governor Pável Málkov of the Ryazan region confirmed that the attack caused a fire at the refinery but reported no injuries. He also stated that damage was being assessed and emergency services were working at the scene. Málkov added that the attack also damaged a warehouse and several cars in another Ryazan company.

## Disagreement on the truce

La Vanguardia reported that the energy truce announced by Donald Trump was never truly accepted by Kyiv or Moscow and had not begun. The outlet also stated that Russia accused Ukraine of not respecting the truce, with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak claiming Ukrainian forces had attempted to attack both the Ryazan and Saratov refineries on Wednesday. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov echoed this, stating that attacks on Russian refineries had continued and that Ukraine's actions contradicted US peace efforts.

## Omissions

None of the right-rated digests mention the specific details of damage to a warehouse and several cars in another Ryazan company, as reported by Governor Pável Málkov. None of the centre-rated digests mention the specific details of damage to a warehouse and several cars in another Ryazan company, as reported by Governor Pável Málkov.

## Who covered it

Shares of the 47 covering outlets with a published leaning rating:

- Left: 23% (11)
- Centre: 37% (17)
- Right: 40% (19)

42 of 89 covering outlets carried no usable leaning rating and were excluded from those percentages. Coverage measured 2026-10-16T15:28:14.366Z.

**Coverage watch:** developing. Checked 5 times; 1 check found a material change. Most recently checked 2026-10-16T16:00:30.448Z.

## How the sides framed it

### Left

- Left-rated outlets reported that Ukraine attacked a Russian oil refinery in Ryazan. Digests from these outlets stated that the strike started a fire. The governor of the Ryazan region confirmed damage and a fire at the refinery, according to La Vanguardia.
- These reports indicated Ukraine abandoned a truce involving energy targets. La Vanguardia reported Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced his army would no longer refrain from attacking refineries. Other digests stated Zelensky felt betrayed by Donald Trump.
- Digests from these outlets mentioned Russia's claim that it had repelled the attack. La Vanguardia reported Russian authorities stated Ukraine did not respect US peace efforts. Some digests noted the strike followed Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

### Centre

- Le Devoir, the centre-rated report, highlighted President Zelensky's defiance of Donald Trump by announcing the resumption of strikes on Russian refineries. The digest noted Zelensky's statement, "It's over," made a few days after Trump announced an energy truce. The report did not provide further details on the attack itself.

### Right

- The five right-rated reports focused on Ukraine's resumption of attacks on Russian refineries and President Zelensky's declaration that the "energy truce" with former US President Donald Trump was over. News-pravda.com, The Epoch Times, Welt, Washington Examiner, and voz.us all reported that Ukraine had resumed strikes. News-pravda.com, citing the Russian Defense Ministry, stated that four Flamingo cruise missiles and 69 drones were intercepted and destroyed. The Epoch Times and Washington Examiner noted that the attack on Rosneft's Ryazan refinery was the first since Trump declared the energy ceasefire on Sunday, which Moscow had not agreed to. Welt reported that Zelensky was "messing with Donald Trump" by declaring the "energy weapon rest" over. Voz.us mentioned that Trump unilaterally announced an "energy ceasefire" that was never publicly confirmed and that Moscow continued to attack Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

**Provisional coverage gap:** left. The watch is not closed, so this is not yet a settled blindspot finding.
