Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Kiev was ending a ceasefire covering energy sites, following strikes on Russian refineries by Kyiv. U.S. President Donald Trump expressed strong disapproval of the move, stating in an interview that it was making global oil prices rise, which he believed was "a disgrace." Trump criticized Zelenskyy's willingness to negotiate with Russia, particularly after Ukrainian forces targeted a Rosneft refinery near Moscow, a facility critical for supplying diesel oil to the nation and the rest of the world.
