At the same time as the US threatened to stop the exchange of information with Ukraine in the event of an attack on Russian refineries, Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Trump's actions in the field of "energy ceasefire" and announced that he would resume attacks on Russian refineries and energy infrastructure.
At the same time as the US threatened to stop the exchange of information with Ukraine in the event of an attack on Russian refineries, Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Trump's actions in the field of "energy ceasefire" and announced that he would resume attacks on Russian refineries and energy infrastructure.
According to Ambassador Arjan, the president of Ukraine announced that Kiev will resume attacks on Russian oil refineries; A decision that is considered against the wishes of US President Donald Trump.
According to Fars, Volodymyr Zelensky at the same time described US restrictions on the exchange of military information and disruption of Starlink satellite internet services as dangerous in the event of Ukraine's attacks on Russian oil infrastructure.
According to CNN, in an interview with the Financial Times, Zelensky said that Ukraine had stopped attacks on Russia's oil infrastructure for three days after the announcement of the surprise initiative by US President Donald Trump to establish an "energy ceasefire". But with Russia's continued attacks on Ukraine's energy facilities, Kiev no longer sees a reason to continue this shutdown.
Last Sunday, Donald Trump claimed to have reached an "energy ceasefire" between Ukraine and Russia. However, Zelensky claimed ignorance, and Russia also targeted Ukrainian power plants a few hours later.
In this conversation, Zelensky said in a clear tone: "Enough is enough."
The Ministry of Defense of Russia announced on Thursday that Ukraine tried to carry out a large-scale attack on an oil refinery in Ryazan last night. Kyiv has not commented on this so far.
Zelensky's statements indicate the increase in tension between Kyiv and Washington over the war strategy and Ukraine's attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure. The president of Ukraine criticized the Trump administration's pressure to stop these attacks and said that American military officials have warned their Ukrainian counterparts that they will stop exchanging military information if the energy attacks continue.
"We were told that if you don't stop the energy attacks, we will block the information," Zelensky added in the interview.
The warning comes as Ukraine announced on Wednesday that it had imposed restrictions on some Starlink military internet services, which had disrupted important military operations. This has raised concerns in Kyiv and among Ukraine's European allies.
Last week, the American president announced an agreement to buy Russian diesel; According to Trump, this action is aimed at reducing energy costs in the United States.
Trump wrote on social networks that Russian President Vladimir Putin has agreed to supply diesel to the markets. This decision was met with criticism from both the main American parties and the displeasure of Washington's European allies.
Zelensky has also criticized Trump's willingness to do business with Moscow and what he described as the president's apparent admiration for Putin.
On the eve of the US mid-term elections, Trump is under pressure to reduce energy costs, and stopping Ukraine's attacks on Russian refineries is considered part of Washington's efforts in this regard.
