Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced that his country will resume strikes on Russian oil refineries, amid growing frustration with U.S. President Donald Trump's actions. In an interview with the Financial Times, Zelensky expressed his anger over the "dangerous" withdrawal of U.S. intelligence sharing and access to Starlink satellite internet service.
He accused Trump of a controversial deal to buy Russian diesel and his apparent admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Zelensky also stated that Ukrainian military officials were threatened by their U.S. counterparts to stop energy strikes or lose intelligence support. The tensions between the two leaders have further deepened following Trump's announcement of a deal to buy Russian diesel and his pressure on Ukraine to stop striking Moscow's refineries.
Both Russian and Ukrainian troops have intensified aerial attacks on each other's energy infrastructure in recent weeks, as the battlefield remains relatively stagnant. Ukraine's reliance on Starlink for communication and missile warnings has been compromised due to restrictions imposed by Elon Musk's Starlink, leading to concerns about potential human losses.
