FT reports Zelenskiy said Ukraine will resume attacks on Russian refineries and has lifted a previous ban on strikes. He said the US has withdrawn intelligence support and that Starlink satellite internet was restricted during a major Russian offensive, actions he called "dangerous" and deliberate. Zelenskiy said he paused energy-target strikes for three days at US request, but Russia continued heavy attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure that killed civilians; during the pause Ukrainian forces stopped receiving US-provided ballistic-missile warning data and Starlink throttling has degraded frontline communications and mid-range strike capabilities. He said US officials warned Ukrainian counterparts they would cut intelligence support if attacks on energy facilities continued; the US later described interruptions as a technical fault, which Zelenskiy rejected as deliberate.
