Russia and Ukraine resume energy strikes despite US ceasefire push

theguardian.com —

The US-brokered energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine has collapsed, with Moscow launching a record drone attack on central Ukraine and Kyiv resuming strikes on Russian oil refineries despite warnings from Donald Trump. Russia accused Ukraine of striking an oil refinery in Ryazan, its first such attack since Trump declared a ceasefire that neither side confirmed. Zelenskyy said the block on refinery strikes was lifted, while over 360 Russian drones hit Kirovohrad, killing three and injuring six. The feud between Zelenskyy and Trump has intensified, with the US restricting intelligence sharing and Starlink access. Trump suggested Ukraine should get a new president, while Elon Musk denied throttling Starlink and called for Zelenskyy's departure.
