  "account": "Ukraine is set to resume drone attacks on Russian oil refineries following Russia's ongoing assault on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and civilian casualties, despite U.S. President Trump's declaration of an \"energy ceasefire.\" In an interview with the Financial Times, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy disclosed that he had paused strikes on Russian refineries for three days to adhere to U.S. demands. However, Russia continued to target Ukraine's energy infrastructure, including targeting it with ballistic missiles. Zelenskyy criticized the U.S. for its eagerness to enter into business deals with Russia, including in the energy sector, and expressed his frustration with the withdrawal of U.S. intelligence and the reduction of Elon Musk's Starlink satellite communications in Ukraine. The Ukrainian leader also pointed out that Russia's attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure was a deliberate act, demonstrating Russia's disrespect for the United States.",
  "summary": "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine will resume drone strikes on Russian oil refineries. According to OilPrice and The New York Times, Zelenskyy had previously ordered a three-day pause on these strikes to comply with requests from the United States.\n\nThe decision follows the collapse of an \"energy ceasefire\" or truce. Zelenskyy told the Financial Times that despite the agreement, Russia continued to hit Ukrainian energy infrastructure and kill civilians. The Egypt Independent reports that Zelenskyy expressed frustration with President Donald Trump, noting that Trump had pressured Ukraine to stop refinery strikes to lower energy costs.\n\nZelenskyy further told the Financial Times that US counterparts warned Ukrainian military officials that intelligence would be blocked if the energy strikes did not stop. The Egypt Independent also reports that Zelenskyy described a withdrawal of US intelligence sharing and restricted access to Starlink satellite internet services as \"dangerous.\"",
