US President Don Trump said in an interview broadcast on Thursday local time that it is “shameful” for Ukraine to resume attacks on Russian refineries; this move is driving up global energy prices. Earlier, Zelensky announced that Ukraine would no longer abide by the energy facility cease-fire arrangement announced by Trump, criticized Trump's willingness to reach a deal with Moscow, and then Ukraine attacked a Russian refinery. Trump said in an interview, “Everything he did was just push up global oil prices. I think that's shameful.” Ukraine attacked Rosneft's refinery southeast of Moscow, which supplies oil to the Russian capital. “There are plenty of targets to hit, but if you attack a refinery that produces diesel, you know we need diesel, and the world needs diesel, then he's not doing good for the world.” Russia then launched large-scale missile and drone attacks, targeting power plants and other energy facilities, causing hundreds of thousands of people to lose electricity. Zelensky said Ukraine's patience has run out.
