Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine will resume attacks on oil refineries within Russia, as reported by the Financial Times. This decision follows a temporary pause in these strikes, implemented following a declared “energy truce” announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday. Zelenskyy stated the pause was in good faith, but Russia continued its attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during this period. The resumption of strikes targets Russia’s capacity to fund its war effort and retaliates for ongoing attacks. The initial pause aimed to de-escalate tensions, but it proved ineffective as Russia did not reciprocate with restraint. These actions reflect Ukraine’s strategy to disrupt Russia’s war capabilities despite international pressure.
