Zelensky lifts halt on Russian refinery strikes after accusing US of betrayal

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced Kyiv is ending its halt on attacks on Russian oil refineries, a ceasefire on energy targets brokered by US President Donald Trump, after accusing Russia of ignoring the agreement. Zelensky said the restriction on refinery strikes is lifted, following Russian air attacks that knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians. He also expressed frustration with the US over restrictions on Ukraine's use of SpaceX's Starlink technology, calling the move a betrayal and a policy decision, not a technical issue. The rift deepens tensions between Kyiv and Washington, with Ukrainian officials reporting a lack of US missile warnings and Starlink outages affecting drone operations. The dispute coincides with Trump lifting sanctions on Russia and a new diesel deal, drawing criticism from European allies.
