Ukraine continues strikes on Russian refineries despite Trump warnings

Ukraine is pressing ahead with drone strikes on Russian oil refineries, despite warnings from Donald Trump that the attacks are driving up global fuel prices. The campaign targets Russia's energy export infrastructure, a key source of war funding. Kyiv appears to have judged the economic pressure on Moscow outweighs friction with the White House, and the standoff is drawing international attention to tensions between the two allies over how to end the war.
Why now: Ongoing Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure are creating friction with the Trump administration over fuel prices.
