Ukraine has resumed strikes on Russian refineries, with a recent attack targeting an installation in the Ryazan region. This action follows Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's expression of anger over a withdrawal of US intelligence. Previously, Kyiv had paused refinery attacks since US President Donald Trump announced an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine on Sunday. Trump had attributed rising global diesel prices to these Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries. The resumption of attacks indicates a defiance of Trump's call for an energy ceasefire.
