21.09.2026 ⇢ The Day Trump Pressed Zelensky to Halt Refinery Strikes
⌨
Overnight Russian drones hit Zaporizhzhia, setting fire to a shopping centre, apartment blocks and the oldest building of Zaporizhzhia National University, wounding six; later strikes on Sumy, Kyiv region and a minibus in Zaporizhzhia region killed two.
Attention shifted to the 20 September Zelensky-Trump call, with Axios and the Financial Times reporting Trump repeatedly urged a halt to strikes on Russian refineries, a push Trump publicly framed by claiming Russia had lost control of its refining industry. Zelensky answered with a condition for stopping energy strikes.
Reuters reported the Moscow refinery halted processing after Ukrainian drone hits, following a reported strike on Bashneft in Ufa. Bloomberg warned Russia was stockpiling missiles and changing tactics for winter while planning 28,000 more Shaheds a year. Preparations continued for a Zelensky-Trump meeting in New York, with Vance outlining expectations and reports of a planned CIA chief meeting in Ireland.
