Zelenskyy: Ukraine to Resume Strikes on Russian Refineries

The Ukrainian president announced that Kyiv will resume targeting Russian energy facilities, stating that Moscow violated an energy ceasefire.

Ukraine will resume strikes against oil refineries inside Russia following a three-day pause, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview with the Financial Times. The remarks were reported by Bloomberg and Czech news outlet Seznam Zprávy.

According to Zelenskyy, the decision comes after Russia failed to adhere to an energy ceasefire. Zelenskyy added that the United States has restricted intelligence sharing and military internet access for Kyiv, and stated that halting the strikes is contingent upon the delivery of Patriot air defense systems.

Further details have not yet been released.
