Ukraine resumes strikes on Russian refineries after Moscow breaks energy ceasefire

Ukraine will resume attacks on Russian energy infrastructure after Moscow failed to uphold an "energy ceasefire" deal proposed by President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed. Zelenskyy told the Financial Times the block on striking refineries is lifted, following a three-day pause at Washington's request. Trump announced the ceasefire Sunday to lower oil and diesel prices ahead of U.S. midterm elections, but Kyiv said Russia launched a massive assault with about 40 ballistic missiles during the pause. Ukraine also reported restricted Starlink connectivity disrupting military operations, with an adviser alleging SpaceX imposed speed limits without notice. Elon Musk said the U.S. government controls the military-grade Starshield systems, while Zelenskyy expressed feeling "betrayed" but stressed Ukraine's strategic relationship with the U.S. remains paramount.
