Ukraine strikes Russian refinery as Zelenskyy criticizes U.S. intelligence pause

cbc.ca —

Ukraine resumed drone attacks on Russian oil refineries Thursday, striking a Rosneft facility in the Ryazan region, after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ended a three-day suspension and voiced anger over the U.S. withdrawal of intelligence support. Zelenskyy said Ukraine's patience had run out, citing continued Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure that left 600,000 people without power. He criticized Washington's business dealings with Moscow and dismissed U.S. explanations for blocking intelligence as a technical glitch, calling it a matter of "will." The Ryazan refinery, accounting for nearly five percent of Russia's refining throughput, caught fire in the attack. Ukrainian officials also reported slowed Starlink military service, while Russia launched 580 drones overnight, killing three people in central Ukraine.
