  "summary": "President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukraine will resume strikes on Russian oil refineries, according to The New York Times and BBC News. Zelensky stated in an interview with the Financial Times that he had previously paused these attacks for three days at the behest of the United States. CNBC and CNBC World report that the decision follows Moscow failing to uphold its end of an energy ceasefire deal brokered by US President Donald Trump.\n\nZelensky accused the United States of withdrawing crucial support, telling the Financial Times that US counterparts threatened to block intelligence if Ukraine did not stop the strikes. BBC News reports that Zelensky also alleged a deliberate slowdown of Starlink satellite services and accused the US of withdrawing intelligence-sharing on Russian strikes to pressure Kyiv. Zelensky told Piers Morgan he felt betrayed by the US after Washington appeared to withdraw key elements of its support.\n\nThe South China Morning Post reports that a strike has already occurred at an installation in the Ryazan region. While Zelensky had previously stated he would agree to the energy ceasefire announced by Trump on Sunday if Moscow also abided by it, BBC News notes that Russia ignored the proposed deal within hours and the Kremlin never stated it had agreed to it.",
