US-Ukraine Ties Hit Historic Low as Kyiv Strikes Russian Refineries

Russia and Ukraine have broken a US-brokered energy truce, with Kyiv resuming strikes on Russian refineries and Moscow accusing European nations of a "destructive position" on a diesel export deal. The collapse has pushed US-Ukraine relations to a historic low. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Europe criticized the Trump-Putin agreement on Russian diesel exports, worsening global energy tensions. Ukraine attacked a Rosneft refinery near Moscow and claimed to have destroyed six Su-34M bombers, while President Trump demanded Zelensky resign, blaming the strikes for US diesel price pressures. Trump has restricted Patriot missile supplies, Starlink satellite capabilities, and intelligence sharing with Ukraine, which Zelensky called a political move. European nations have also blocked US efforts to unfreeze Russian assets, while London has begun sending additional long-range missiles to Kyiv.
