President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced Ukraine will resume strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, overriding U.S. President Donald Trump’s call for an energy ceasefire. The decision comes as Ukraine continues its attacks on Russian refineries, which Moscow has responded to with increased drone strikes. Zelenskyy accused Trump of betrayal, citing his failure to end the war despite promises to do so.
Ukraine’s military has resumed targeting Russian energy facilities, following Russia’s ongoing attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. The conflict has intensified, with both sides escalating strikes. Zelenskyy stated Ukraine’s patience with the ceasefire proposal had run out, emphasizing the need to disrupt Russian military capabilities.
The U.S. Had previously urged both sides to support an energy ceasefire, but Trump’s influence on the issue has waned. Zelenskyy’s rejection of the truce highlights growing frustration with U.S. Policy. Meanwhile, Ukraine claims Russia has not ceased its attacks, justifying the resumption of strikes. The situation underscores the deepening divide between Ukrainian leadership and U.S. Officials over the war’s direction.
