Trump calls Ukraine's resumption of energy strikes 'a disgrace'

President Donald Trump called Ukraine's decision to end its pause on strikes against Russian energy infrastructure "a disgrace," citing potential global oil price increases. The criticism follows a reported Ukrainian drone attack on a refinery in Russia's Ryazan region. Ukraine had halted such strikes after Trump announced an "energy ceasefire" last Sunday, though Russia continued hitting Ukrainian energy sites. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ended the pause Wednesday, prompting Trump to say he was "not a big fan" of Zelenskyy and found him harder to deal with than Putin. The incident marks the first reported Ukrainian strike on Russian energy infrastructure since the truce announcement. Relations between Kyiv and Washington have grown strained amid Trump's recent easing of sanctions on Russian diesel imports and restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink services.
