Zelensky Defies Trump, Vows Continued Strikes on Russian Oil Refineries

Ukraine's president publicly commits to sustained deep-strike attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, directly rebuffing a reported appeal from former President Trump to spare such targets. This signals a hardening of Ukraine's strategic posture and a potential rift with a key political figure in the US, with implications for energy markets and the trajectory of the conflict. The claim is based on a single media report; the exact scope and timing of future strikes remain uncertain.
