Ukraine's Zelensky Defies Trump with Russian Refinery Strikes
The Ryazan refinery accounts for almost 5% of Russia’s oil refining throughput, and Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s patience with Moscow had run out.
- On Thursday, Ukraine resumed drone strikes on a Russian oil refinery in Ryazan, rejecting President Donald Trump's energy ceasefire terms. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the decision after Russia continued attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
- President Donald Trump announced a surprise 'energy ceasefire' on Sunday following his deal to import 300,000 tonnes of Russian diesel. Zelenskyy described the agreement as a 'weak decision' that would prolong Russia's invasion.
- Tensions escalated as Ukraine reported Starshield satellite disruptions blamed on the U.S. government. Russian bombardments left 600,000 people without power Wednesday, prompting Zelenskyy to demand more Patriot interceptors as a condition for halting energy strikes.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov accused Ukraine of derailing peace efforts through resumed strikes. Zelenskyy told British journalist Piers Morgan he felt 'betrayed' by Trump's policy shifts and diesel deal with Russia.
- Relations between Kyiv and Washington have soured since last week, as Trump suggested it was 'time for Ukraine to get a new president.' Russia continues targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure ahead of U.S. midterm elections.
