    Ukraine has resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy angrily accused the United States of betraying Kyiv with a “dangerous” withdrawal of support critical to its defense against Russia.

    Ukraine held off on attacks for three days after President Donald Trump’s unilateral “energy ceasefire” announcement, but it accused Russia of repeatedly attacking its power grid. Zelenskyy voiced mounting frustration over the Kremlin’s failure to abide by the truce and what he sees as U.S. attempts to pressure Kyiv following gaps in intelligence-sharing about Russian attacks and restrictions on the Starlink internet service.

    Satellite internet functionality via Starshield — the military version of the SpaceX service in Ukraine — has resumed at previous speeds for the moment, Ukrainian Chargé d’Affaires Denys Sienik told NBC News on Thursday.

    “We hope it will remain unchanged,” Sienik said. “Speed is critical for logistics and for intercepting the jet-powered Shahed drones.”

    The Ukrainian government still has received no response from SpaceX or the U.S. Defense Department about the reason for the recent limitations, a Ukrainian official said.

    In an interview with the Financial Times published Thursday, Zelenskyy indicated his patience had already been exhausted.

    “The block [on attacking refineries] is out. We’re done,” Zelenskyy was quoted as saying.

    Hours later, a fire was reported at an oil refinery in the western Ryazan region, Gov. Pavel Malkov said. The Russian Defense Ministry said Ukraine had “attempted a massive attack on the Ryazan oil refinery.”

    Hours later, a fire was reported at an oil refinery in the western Ryazan region, Gov. Pavel Malkov said. The Russian Defense Ministry said Ukraine had “attempted a massive attack on the Ryazan oil refinery.”

    Ukraine has been reeling from a sudden shift from Trump, who struck a diesel deal with Russia in an apparent bid to relieve pressure at the pump ahead of the midterm elections. He then demanded that Ukraine stop attacking Russian oil facilities and called for Zelenskyy to be replaced as its leader.

    Trump’s “energy ceasefire” appeared to take both warring sides by surprise. He has blamed the Ukrainian campaign for fueling a rise in energy prices, despite the impact of his own war with Iran.

    The moves caused frustration and confusion in Ukraine and Europe, intensifying concerns over how much of an ally the U.S. remained in the fight against Russia.

    That worry was aggravated Wednesday when Kyiv said it was facing a slowdown of Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite terminals, disrupting battlefield missions and its ability to intercept Russian drones.

    Russian drones swarmed Ukraine on Wednesday, and more than 850 had filled the skies over Ukraine since early Thursday, Zelenskyy said. “And this comes precisely at a time when the speed of our defensive capabilities is being artificially restricted,” he said, referring to the Starlink slowdown.

    Musk, a staunch ally of Trump, wrote on social media that decisions about restricting the use of Starshield were up to the U.S. military and ultimately Trump.

    Overnight, Musk said it was “time for Zelenskyy to go.”

    The Defense Ministry source said Kyiv was still seeking clarification of the reasons for Wednesday’s throttling of the technology, which Ukraine relies on for battlefield communication, drone operations and air defense.

    Questions are mounting about whether the U.S. has stopped or limited the sharing of critical military intelligence with Ukraine after Zelenskyy said several ballistic strikes on Kyiv did not come with the usual warning from its partners.

    European and Ukrainian officials told NBC News they believed that the moves, coming only days after Trump eased sanctions on Russia’s diesel exports and railed against Zelenskyy, were most likely aimed at pressuring Kyiv into making concessions at the negotiating table amid a stalemate in peace talks.

    Ukraine was concerned that the chain of events amounted to an effort to pile pressure on Kyiv and backtrack on years of U.S. promises to help fend off the Russian invasion, one of the Ukrainian officials said.

    Ukraine relies heavily on U.S. intelligence and the Starshield satellite network to defend itself against Russian drone and missile attacks, as well as to target Russian forces with its own drones. A reduction in intelligence assistance or satellite access could seriously undermine Ukraine’s battlefield prospects just as winter sets in, according to military experts.

    Ukrainian military officials were told by their U.S. counterparts that “if you will not stop [the energy strikes], we will block intelligence,” Zelenskyy said, according to the Financial Times, although the incident was subsequently presented to Kyiv as a technical glitch.

    The withdrawal of the intelligence and the simultaneous weakening of Starlink satellite internet were “dangerous” for Ukraine, he told the newspaper, adding that fighting without the U.S. would be “very difficult.”

    In a separate interview with Piers Morgan on Wednesday, Zelenskyy acknowledged that he felt “betrayed” by Trump’s actions.

    The White House did not immediately respond to an overnight request for comment on Zelenskyy’s accusations and the renewed Ukrainian strikes.

    How long before you realize that you've already lost, Putin: other than your retarded sense of pride preventing you from admitting that all your opinions are more than wrong.
    America has diplomatic relations & trade despite what happened decades ago, and even veterans can visit Vietnam with no ill will from the locals.
    Would it kill you to just leave Ukraine completely except for an embassy in Kyiv and trade with them? America still exists to this day despite admitting they lost the Vietnam War, yet ultimately won alongside that communist country, so you don't have the right to any excuses, Vlad: only that your opinions were proved wrong the moment you so much as thought of annexing Crimea. Look what ultimately happened to a subhuman Austrian when it annexed Sudetenland & invaded Poland: what started the Great Patriotic War, mentioned in the opening ceremony of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.

    But then, those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.

    >>
    >>1543573
    Or that Martial law wasn't declared by the United States in response to WW1, WW2, the civil war or even 9/11, and that's why American elections were not suspended, but Zelensky has declared martial law in Ukraine in response to this war, refused to lift it and as long as martial law is in place he can keep being leader indefinitely, even though his electoral mandate ended in May of 2024.

    I do not believe the US constitution has a clause prohibiting elections during wartime, martial law, or states of emergency.
    That said, if the US was being actively invaded? If the country was being bombed? No, I could understand suspended elections in that case. It’s ludicrous to expect people to get out and vote when there’s bombs falling around them, or to have to transition to a new administration like nothing’s wrong when the country’s very survival is being threatened.
    >>
    >>1543608
    We need democracy in Ukraine. No more martial law, no more suspended elections. Zelensky has been clinging to power long after his term ended, he doesn't want democracy, he doesn't want the people of Ukraine to express their political will because it means he will lose power.

    It's so weird your post says Putin and Russia but is describing Zelenskys Ukraine
    https://www.leftvoice.org/president-zelenskyy-bans-opposition-parties-in-ukraine/
    President Zelenskyy Bans Opposition Parties in Ukraine
    On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a ban on at least 11 opposition parties under the guise that they have links to Russia. This amounts to censorship, and is stirring up even more Russophobia.
    President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine had decided to suspend the activities of at least eleven opposition parties. These include The Opposition Platform for Life, Shariy Party, Nashi, Opposition Bloc, Left Opposition, Union of Left Forces, State, Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, Socialist Party of Ukraine, Socialists Party, and Volodymyr Saldo Bloc, among others.

    Zelenskyy claims that these parties have ties to Russia, and said, “Any activity of politicians aimed at splitting or collaborating will not succeed.” His move amounts to censorship of the political opposition, and stirs up both Ukrainian nationalism and Russiaphobia, both of which have increased in recent years, especially since the beginning of the war and in particular under the influence of far-right and neo-Nazi organizations like the Azov Battalion.
