Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says Ukraine will resume strikes on Russian oil refineries after a brief pause. In an interview reported by the Financial Times, he says a prior “block” on such attacks is “out” and Ukraine will proceed again.
Outlets also link the decision to Russia’s wider campaign. Kyiv Post and Ukrainska Pravda report Zelenskiy warns that disruptions to US intelligence support and Starlink satellite assistance could put Ukraine at risk, and he criticises Donald Trump’s approach toward Vladimir Putin. Bloomberg similarly frames the move as a response to deadly attacks by Moscow, while noting the FT reported Zelenskiy’s comments.
While specific timing and operational details are not consistent across coverage, all accounts attribute the policy shift directly to Zelenskiy and present it as part of Ukraine’s pressure campaign aimed at Russian energy infrastructure amid ongoing missile and air strikes.
