Ukraine resumes strikes on Russian oil refineries amid comments from Zelenskyy

What’s going on?
Ukraine resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries amid rising tensions with former US President Trump. The action reflects a clear shift in Ukraine’s military strategy, confirming escalating hostilities. This follows a period of relative restraint as Ukraine assessed its military options.

Headline framing differs notably between outlets. NBC News states, “‘We’re done’: Ukraine resumes strikes on Russian oil refineries as anger at Trump mounts,” emphasising the end of restraint and political ramifications. In contrast, the Financial Times reports, “Zelenskyy defies Trump as Ukraine resumes strikes on Russian refineries,” highlighting defiance against Trump’s influence without focusing on the broader context.
