Trump declares renewed Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries 'a disgrace' and blames them for pushing up global energy prices - after Zelensky condemned US president's 'betrayal'

Ukraine has resumed attacks on Russian oil refineries after a brief pause declared by U.S. President Donald Trump, who called the renewed strikes "a disgrace." Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the Financial Times that Kyiv is no longer adhering to Trump's ceasefire agreement and expressed frustration over alleged restrictions on Starlink satellite technology and intelligence sharing from the United States. The attacks began after Russia continued its air strikes despite the supposed ceasefire, leaving hundreds of thousands without power. Relations between Ukraine and the U.S. have deteriorated since Trump eased sanctions on Russia in exchange for Moscow releasing large amounts of diesel onto global markets ahead of midterm elections. Zelensky accused Trump of betrayal over the loss of crucial satellite data during an interview with Piers Morgan Uncensored, while Putin vowed revenge after the renewed Ukrainian attacks. The Ukrainian leader stated that the cutting off of U.S. intelligence sharing and weakening of Starlink services was dangerous for civilians. Despite the resumption of strikes, Zelensky had paused energy-related attacks for three days to comply with U.S. wishes but now insists on continuing due to ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine's essential infrastructure. Trump blamed Ukrainian actions for driving up global energy prices, further straining diplomatic relations between Kyiv and Washington.
