Volodymyr Zelensky says "we are losing a strong partner" as US-Ukraine ties worsen

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in an interview with Piers Morgan, described worsening friction with Washington after saying he felt betrayed by President Donald Trump’s diesel-import deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the announced pause on energy-infrastructure attacks and Starlink restrictions. Zelenskyy said Ukraine had been deprived of customary Western data about Russian ballistic-missile launches and that caps on Starlink service hurt its ability to fight, while Trump said Washington continued to share intelligence. Zelenskyy separately said Ukraine would restart strikes on Russian oil refineries; Ukrainian drones hit a refinery in Russia’s Ryazan region early Thursday, igniting a blaze, a Ukrainian official confirmed. A Russian drone attack killed three people in the Kirovohrad region, and Zelenskyy said the strikes affected 15 regions. Zelenskyy made the comment in that interview as U.S.-Ukraine ties deteriorated.
