Zelensky Says Ukraine Will Resume Russian Refinery Strikes, Defying Trump

NEW: Zelensky says Ukraine will resume strikes on Russian oil refineries, defying Trump, who called the renewed attacks 'a disgrace'.

Zelensky says the refinery strikes are back on, and Trump's answer was one word, disgrace.

The Ukrainian president made it plain, you can see him here, Kyiv will resume attacks on Russian oil refineries, the campaign that's been squeezing Moscow's fuel supply and its war chest for months. Those strikes have hit deep inside Russia, and they work precisely because refineries are expensive, hard to repair, and impossible to hide.

Trump wants them stopped. He's called the renewed attacks a disgrace, and this is now an open split between Washington and Kyiv, in public, over how Ukraine is allowed to fight its own war.

Zelensky's calculation is simple. Oil money pays for Russian missiles, so he'd rather anger the White House than fund the Kremlin. The hardest fact tonight is this, Ukraine just told its most powerful backer no, to his face.
