Zelensky defies Trump, resumes strikes on Russian refineries
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Ukraine will resume strikes on Russian oil refineries, directly challenging US President Donald Trump's policy and exposing deepening frustration between the two leaders. In a Financial Times interview, Zelensky condemned the "dangerous" halt of US intelligence sharing and Starlink restrictions, warning that military officials were told attacks on energy infrastructure would trigger a blockade of information. He also told Piers Morgan he felt "betrayed" by Trump's diesel purchase deal with Moscow. The dispute follows Trump's ceasefire announcement that neither side confirmed, while Russia launched strikes leaving 600,000 Ukrainians without power. Zelensky urged Elon Musk to restore Starshield services, warning "people will die" without them.
