"We're done with it": Zelensky threatens Putin and attacks Trump

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced in an interview with the Financial Times that Ukraine will resume strikes against Russian oil refineries, after a three-day pause requested by the US did not stop Russian attacks. Zelensky sharply criticized the suspension of US intelligence sharing, restrictions on Starlink, and the diesel deal between Trump and Putin, claiming that Trump has an affinity for authoritarian leaders.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced in a pointed interview with the Financial Times that Ukraine will resume strikes against Russian oil refineries, after temporarily halting them at the request of the Trump administration. The three-day pause was intended to comply with the US president's request and avoid accusations of violating the energy ceasefire, but Russia continued to bombard civilian infrastructure in Ukraine during those days. Zelensky stated that the restriction on striking refineries has been lifted: 'We're done with it.' The interview reflected deep frustration with US conduct: Zelensky revealed that the US has stopped providing early warnings of Russian ballistic missile launches, and warned of restrictions on Starlink services that have hampered operational activity. He sharply criticized the Russian diesel deal approved to lower fuel prices in the US, calling it funding for Putin's war. Zelensky mocked the gap between Trump's statements and reality, saying 'Putin doesn't read Truth Social.' Despite the criticism, he emphasized that Ukraine views the partnership with Washington as a strategic relationship, and rejected the claim that the responsibility for the crisis lies with him.
