Ukraine Resumes Oil Refinery Strikes After Trump's 'Energy Ceasefire' Collapses

Ukraine has resumed drone strikes on Russian oil refineries, abandoning a brief, unilateral energy truce demanded by U.S. President Donald Trump. The decision follows a breakdown in U.S.-Ukraine relations, marked by restricted intelligence sharing and limits on Starlink satellite access, which Kyiv views as punitive measures designed to force concessions. While Moscow claims the truce was never honored, Kyiv argues it complied until Russia continued bombing Ukrainian power grids. This escalation coincides with a massive Russian drone barrage on Ukraine and deepening diplomatic rifts between Kyiv and Washington.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded to French far-right candidate Marine Le Pen’s pledge to cut financial aid by arguing that Europe benefits significantly from Ukraine’s battlefield experience. While Le Pen claims France cannot afford support, Zelenskyy emphasized that joint testing of weapons like the SAMP/T air defense system improves French military capabilities. The debate highlights a sharp divide in the 2027 French presidential race, with Le Pen leading polls but facing strong opposition from mainstream parties who view aid as essential for European security.

European Leaders Rally Behind Zelenskyy After Trump’s Call for Leadership Change

The UK, Germany, and Poland have reaffirmed their support for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy following a sharp diplomatic rift with the United States. The dispute arose after President Donald Trump demanded that Ukraine replace its leadership and cease strikes on Russian oil refineries, citing concerns over global diesel supplies. In response, European leaders emphasized their solidarity with Kyiv, with British Prime Minister Andy Burnham pledging to strengthen sanctions against Moscow. Zelenskyy countered by offering to halt attacks on Russian energy infrastructure if Russia stops targeting Ukrainian civilian and military assets. This escalation follows a recent US decision to ease sanctions on Russian diesel exports, which Kyiv condemned as a move that funds the war. The incident highlights growing tensions between Washington and its European allies regarding the management of the conflict and energy policy.
