  "account": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced on October 15 that his country will resume strikes on Russian oil refineries following the United States' decision to limit intelligence sharing and restrict Starlink service for Ukrainian military operations. Zelenskyy acknowledged that Ukraine had ceased oil refinery strikes for three days under an \"energy ceasefire\" declared by former President Donald Trump, but Russia continued attacking Ukrainian energy facilities despite this truce. Regarding Starlink disruptions, Zelenskyy attributed the issues to a lack of \"political will\" rather than technical problems, contradicting claims that the service outages hindered military operations. The Financial Times reported that Ukraine had no prior knowledge of the U.S.-proclaimed energy ceasefire. The administration's threat to suspend intelligence sharing and cut off U.S. weapon sales to Ukraine, unless Kyiv stopped striking Russian energy sites, was conveyed to Kyiv by Axios on October 12. Additionally, the U.S. failed to warn Ukraine of Russian ballistic missile attacks on October 12 and 13, leading to a red-level air raid alert being issued too late due to the missiles' rapid detection while airborne. On October 14, Zelenskyy confirmed that the U.S. had threatened to halt intelligence sharing with Ukraine. Shortly after, SpaceX restricted Starlink terminal operations for Ukrainian military use, disrupting several crucial front-line missions.",
