  "summary": "President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine will no longer abide by demands from President Donald Trump to stop striking Russian oil refineries. According to Malay Mail, Zelensky described a recent US-Russia diesel agreement—which eased sanctions on Russia in exchange for the release of diesel into global markets—as a \"weak decision\" that would encourage Russia to prolong its war. Trump has claimed that Ukrainian attacks on these refineries are responsible for rising diesel prices and suggested it is time for Ukraine to get a new president.\n\nTensions have increased following reports that Ukraine experienced disruptions to a critical US satellite communications system used by its army on the battlefield. France 24 noted that the disruption of SpaceX’s Starlink service occurs as Washington increases pressure on Kyiv regarding its strikes on Russian oil infrastructure. Zelensky expressed a need for honesty from partners regarding the war, following Trump's announcement of an \"energy ceasefire\" between Russia and Ukraine which Zelensky claimed he was unaware of.",
