Zelensky Rejects Energy Ceasefire as Ukraine Strikes Russian Refinery

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky says Kyiv will no longer observe a proposed halt on attacks against Russian energy infrastructure, accusing Russia of continuing strikes on Ukrainian power facilities. Russia said Ukraine launched a major drone attack on an oil refinery in Ryazan, causing a fire but no reported casualties. Zelensky said Ukraine had held back attacks for three days while Russia continued assaults that killed civilians and damaged energy sites. He also criticised President Donald Trump over the reported easing of restrictions on Russian diesel and alleged limits on Ukraine’s intelligence and satellite support. Zelensky argues that Ukraine has the right to defend its territory and that limiting its energy strikes could strengthen Russia’s war effort.
