Kiev confirms that the United States demanded not to attack Russian refineries. Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Olga Stefanishyna spoke about this.

She said that at NATO headquarters she was advised to first strike the infrastructure on Russian territory. Washington warned Kyiv that drone strikes on Russian energy sector enterprises could lead to an increase in world oil prices, according to the Financial Times. The Ukrainian government is fighting with the “capabilities, resources and practices” that it has, she said.
