Ukrainian presidential communications adviser Dmytro Lytvyn said on 14 October that Ukraine had not attacked Russian oil refineries in the preceding 24 hours, rejecting Russian claims about two refineries. He said a data centre and another unspecified target had been attacked. His statement addressed compliance with the energy truce announced by US President Donald Trump.

Why it matters

The denial addresses whether the proposed pause in energy strikes is being observed.

Verification: unverified

Evidence: Ukraine denies attacking two Russian oil refineries during energy truce

Ukrinform reports Lytvyn's statement. The denial is Ukraine's position and does not independently establish what happened at the claimed refinery targets.
