"WORSE THAN BEFORE"Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022 has destroyed parts of eastern and southern Ukraine, left hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians dead and forced millions to flee their homes.AFP spoke to several Kherson residents, one of whom said the ceasefire had been a "breath of fresh air"."We have to use this time to get things done," said Volodymyr Omeltchenko, a 38-year-old gardener, before the truce ended."We're pruning the rose bushes for winter."Pope Leo, who had pressed Russia for a truce in Oleshky, had said he hoped the temporary pause would "strengthen the desire for dialogue and lead to new concrete peace initiatives".A Ukrainian military officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, expressed concern that the fighting would be "worse than before" when it resumed.Russian forces on the other side of the Dnipro river had taken advantage of the calm of the past few days to amass new troops, transport ammunition stocks and collect intelligence on Ukrainian positions using surveillance drones, the officer said.OIL ATTACKS Russia and Ukraine exchanged strikes elsewhere on Sunday.Russia said a drone had struck an "industrial enterprise" east of Moscow overnight, with Ukrainian media reporting that Kyiv had attacked the Kstovo oil refinery.Kyiv has repeatedly struck Russian oil and gas sites, in what it says is fair retaliation for Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.Trump has been pressing Kyiv to stop the attacks, blaming them for rising diesel costs that analysts attribute to the Iran war.Zelenskyy said on Fox News on Sunday that he told Trump and his team: "If you want us not to attack Russia's refineries, they have not to attack our energy system.""Another alternative, give us Patriot missiles," he said.Ukraine's energy ministry reported fresh power outages across the country Sunday, including in Kyiv, following Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
