Quick Summary

During an interview with the Financial Times in London, Zelensky stated, "The block is out. We’re done," following three days of compliance with the cease-fire agreement.

Story summary

Ukraine has resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries following President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's announcement that his patience with the United States had run out. Zelenskyy declared an end to a brief truce initiated by U.S. President Donald Trump, which Russia ignored. In an interview with The Financial Times, Zelenskyy stated, "The block is out. We’re done," indicating Ukraine would no longer adhere to the ceasefire on energy targets.

Ukraine suspended attacks on Russian refineries for three days after Trump announced a unilateral energy ceasefire aimed at lowering global diesel prices. However, Russia continued its missile and drone strikes on Ukrainian power stations, causing blackouts that affected hundreds of thousands of people. Zelenskyy accused the United States of weakening critical support to Ukraine's military efforts, including restrictions on Starlink satellite internet and intelligence sharing.

Ukraine struck an oil refinery in the Ryazan region southeast of Moscow early Thursday morning, marking a resumption of attacks following a brief pause. The attack was confirmed by both Russian and Ukrainian officials. Zelenskyy’s decision to resume strikes amid growing tensions with Washington raises concerns about potential severe battlefield consequences for Ukraine, which still relies heavily on technology provided by the United States.
