Ukraine to restart strikes on Russian oil refineries, Zelensky says

Zelensky has since walked a careful diplomatic line, showing willingness towards US-brokered deals while stressing that the terms of any peace deal must be just.But he criticised the agreement between Russia and the US to release 300,000 tonnes of diesel to the US and global marketplace, struck last week, as the US effectively investing in Russia's war effort.That deal was the latest effort by Trump to lower fuel prices in the US ahead of the midterm elections, after months spent grappling with the political consequences of the Iran war.That conflict has sent the cost of petrol - and in particular diesel - skyrocketing, souring his standing with the American public.Zelensky told the FT: "The question will be: when will the next deal be? Maybe it will be gas. Definitely it will be gas."With Russia continuing to strike Ukraine, Zelensky suggested the disruptions to US support was no coincidence.Ukrainian officials have said they were not warned before a speed limit was imposed on the Starlink uplink, whose sister service Starshield is provided to Ukraine under a US Department of Defense (DoD) contract.Musk wrote on Wednesday that the systems were owned and controlled by the US government and "any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately [Trump]."
