Trump Criticizes Zelensky as Ukraine Resumes Strikes on Russian Oil Refineries

independent.co.uk —

Ukraine has ended its support for Donald Trump's energy ceasefire, with Kyiv resuming strikes on Russian oil refineries Thursday after continued Russian attacks on energy infrastructure. Russian President Vladimir Putin has vowed retaliation for the Ukrainian strikes, while Trump criticized the resumption as a disgrace that would keep global energy prices elevated. Trump also said he finds Zelensky more difficult to deal with than Putin following the agreement's collapse. Ukraine had initially paused refinery attacks after Trump's announcement on Sunday, but Zelensky confirmed Kyiv's patience had run out amid ongoing Russian assaults on Ukrainian energy sites.
