Ukraine to resume strikes on Russian refineries, Zelenskiy says

Ukraine will resume strikes on Russian oil refineries, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced, expressing anger over the withdrawal of US intelligence sharing and weakened Starlink service during intense Russian attacks. Zelenskiy said he paused energy strikes for three days to comply with US wishes, but Moscow continued hitting Ukrainian infrastructure and killing civilians. He claimed US officials threatened to block intelligence if strikes continued, and dismissed Starlink failures as a technical issue, saying "it was the will." Elon Musk stated Starshield systems are "owned and controlled by the US government," with limits decided by the US military and president. Zelenskiy said he would only halt strikes in exchange for more Patriot interceptors, warning that stopping attacks could encourage further US-Russia business deals.
