Angriffe auf Energieanlagen: Ukraine attackiert wieder Ölraffinerien - Russland gelassen

Ukraine has resumed attacking Russian oil refineries, disregarding the weapons cease-fire declared by US President Donald Trump. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the "dangerous" lack of US intelligence data and the throttling of the Starlink satellite internet service, while Russia intensified its attacks on Ukraine.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov denounced Zelensky's statements as a direct affront to Trump, stating that Kyiv was acting against US peace efforts. EU Foreign Affairs Chief Kaja Kallas defended the Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries, stating that most Russian war financing comes from oil revenues, making it the right way to cut off Russia's war funding and pressure the Kremlin to end the conflict.

Zelensky is expected to attend the EU summit in Brussels on Friday. Trump had proposed that the US import diesel from Russia, which prompted Zelensky to suspend the attacks. However, Zelensky later claimed that Ukraine had been halting the attacks for days. Musk called on Zelensky to step down, accusing US military and Trump of intentionally limiting the military Starlink service for civilian and non-military purposes.

Despite Ukrainian complaints about US pressure to yield in the war, Zelensky rejects these claims. Russia continues to launch attacks on Ukraine, even disregarding late warnings and delayed air alerts. Drone attacks in Kyiv and Odessa have injured at least nine people, including a supermarket. In Kharkiv, at least three people were killed and six injured in Russian drone strikes.

Three more fatalities were reported in Donetsk. Zelensky described Russia's actions as a "geometric escalation" following the US sanctions relief. Since February 2022, Ukraine has been defending itself against a major Russian invasion.
