Zelenskyy says he is 'done' with US
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has declared he is 'done' with the US-orchestrated ceasefire on energy targets, subsequently striking a Russian oil refinery. This comes after Russia ignored the ceasefire and continued its own attacks, and Zelenskyy expressed frustration over changes to Starlink capabilities, which he believes were a policy decision by the US.
