Ukraine hits Russian refinery as Zelenskyy says 'we're done' with Trump's energy truce

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced his nation will resume targeting Russian oil refineries, defying US President Donald Trump’s call for a ceasefire. Zelensky declared, “We’re done,” while speaking to the Financial Times. Ukraine temporarily complied with Trump’s three-day “energy ceasefire” demand, despite Russia continuing attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

Trump unilaterally declared the ceasefire on Sunday, though neither side confirmed acceptance. Zelensky expressed frustration over limited US intelligence sharing and the restriction of Starlink satellite internet amid escalating Russian assaults. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov deemed Zelensky’s comments a direct affront to Trump, while the Kremlin accused Ukraine of undermining US peace efforts.

Russian attacks on Ukrainian oil processing facilities were reported in the Ryazan and Saratov regions. EU leaders defended Ukraine’s strategy during a summit in Brussels, emphasizing the significance of oil revenues to Russia’s war funding. Estonian and Dutch prime ministers backed Ukraine’s actions to protect its people. Zelensky is set to meet EU leaders on Friday to discuss defense needs.

Meanwhile, Russia's ongoing attacks on Ukraine continued, with drone strikes injuring at least 15 people in Kiev, Odessa, Kirovohrad, and Dnipropetrovsk. Ukrainian forces reported damaging six Russian fighter jets in a targeted escalation following Trump’s easing of sanctions on Russian diesel exports.
