  "account": "Ukraine launched a drone strike against a Russian oil refinery on Thursday, breaking a brief truce that had targeted energy infrastructure. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed feeling betrayed by US President Donald Trump over recent developments. Zelenskyy criticized Trump's deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin to import Russian diesel and the limits imposed on Ukrainian use of U.S.-made Starlink communication terminals. These measures, he said, restricted the effectiveness of Ukrainian drones. Zelenskyy announced a resumption of attacks on Russian oil refineries, citing the denial of Western intelligence on Russian missile strikes and the impact of the Starlink restrictions. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov labeled Ukraine's actions as a direct and crude challenge to Trump. Meanwhile, three people were killed and six injured in a Russian drone attack in Ukraine's Kirovohrad region, intensifying the ongoing conflict.",
