In brief
Zelensky said Kyiv will resume attacks on Moscow‑area refineries after a three‑day pause at Washington’s request. He accuses the US of slashing intelligence sharing and slowing Starlink internet speeds, both seen as pressure to stop the strikes. Russia claims a refinery hit after intercepting missiles, while Ukrainian cities report new shelling. Zelensky demands more Patriot missiles and criticizes the Trump‑Putin diesel deal. The move underscores growing strain between Ukraine and its biggest backer.
Zelensky says Kyiv will resume missile and drone attacks on Russian oil refineries after a three‑day pause at Washington’s request.
The President blames the US for backing off intelligence sharing and throttling Starlink internet, claiming Ukraine must be free to cut Russian fuel flows to its war machine.
Russia’s defence ministry says a refinery south of Moscow was hit when four missiles and dozens of drones were intercepted, leaving a fire behind.
Ukrainian towns have seen dozens of new shellings in the last 24 hours, while talks over a US‑broad energy ceasefire have stalled.
Zelensky lines up the returning strikes with a demand that the US deliver more Patriot air‑defence missiles and rejects the Trump‑Putin diesel deal as a boost for Russian war effort.
Starlink speed limits were rolled back yesterday, but Elon Musk says the restrictions were imposed by the US military.Read more on the FT
