Ukraine Strikes Ryazan Refinery After Zelensky Rebukes US Intelligence Cuts

Ukraine launched an attack on a refinery installation in Russia's Ryazan region, according to the regional governor's statement on Thursday, ending a pause in strikes on Russian energy targets. The resumption followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's sharp criticism of what he called a "dangerous" withdrawal of US intelligence support. Kyiv had held back from hitting Russian refineries after US President Donald Trump announced an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine on Sunday; Trump had blamed such strikes for pushing up diesel prices on global markets. Zelensky expressed mounting frustration over continued Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, saying on Wednesday that 600,000 people had been left without power. He cautioned that Ukraine would not indefinitely halt its own attacks if Russia failed to reciprocate, and he accused Trump of favouritism toward Russia. In an interview with the Financial Times published on Thursday, Zelensky said Ukraine's patience had run out.
