Zelensky resumes strikes on Russian oil facilities despite US pressure

Ukrainian President Zelensky announced the resumption of strikes on Russian oil facilities despite pressure from the Trump administration, stating restrictions on such attacks have been lifted. Zelensky said Ukraine halted attacks on Russian energy sites after Trump mentioned an "energy truce," but Russia continued striking Ukrainian infrastructure, killing over 100 civilians in the past week. He warned that halting strikes could encourage further US-Russia deals, potentially funding Putin's war. Zelensky denied responsibility for deteriorating US-Ukraine relations, saying he would only stop attacks in exchange for more Patriot missiles. He also accused the US of intentionally degrading Starlink services and criticized Trump's affinity for authoritarian leaders.
