Ukraine hits Russian refinery as Zelenskiy says 'we're done' with Trump's energy truce

Yahoo News UK • • world

Key Points:

  • Ukraine struck a Russian oil refinery in the Ryazan region after President Zelenskiy declared an end to the ceasefire on energy sites previously announced by former US President Donald Trump, criticizing Trump's approach to Moscow.
  • The attack targeted a refinery owned by Rosneft, accounting for nearly 5% of Russia's refining capacity, and followed a period during which Ukraine had suspended attacks on refineries in line with Trump's ceasefire demand.
  • Zelenskiy accused Trump of admiring authoritarian leaders and expressed frustration over limitations imposed on Ukraine's military drone capabilities, which he attributed to US policy decisions involving SpaceX's Starlink system.
  • The move risks deepening tensions between Kyiv and Washington, with concerns that the rift could impact intelligence sharing and military support critical to Ukraine's defense against ongoing Russian aggression.
  • Meanwhile, Russia has nearly completed a major drone base in southern Russia, and recent attacks on shipping in the Black Sea highlight escalating conflict dynamics affecting regional security and energy infrastructure.
