Original: Ukraine persists with Russian oil refinery strikes, defying Trump on fuel price warnings https://www.theguardian.com/wor
Ukraine is continuing its drone and missile attacks on Russian oil refineries, despite warnings from Donald Trump that the strikes could push up global fuel prices. Kyiv has prioritised degrading Russia's refining capacity and export revenues, even as the US president presses for a deal to end the war. The standoff highlights growing friction between Ukrainian military strategy and American political pressure.
Why now: Ongoing Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy targets are creating visible tension with the Trump administration over oil prices and war strategy.
