President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine was “done” observing restrictions on strikes against Russian energy facilities, rejecting an energy truce announced by President Donald Trump earlier this week.

In an interview with the Financial Times published on Thursday, Zelensky said, “The block (on attacking refineries) is out. We’re done.” Zelensky said Ukraine had suspended strikes on Russian energy facilities for three days at Washington’s request, but Russia continued attacking Ukrainian infrastructure. 

The statement followed Trump’s Sunday declaration of an energy truce between Russia and Ukraine. “Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!” the President wrote on Truth Social. 

Zelensky’s remarks come as Trump appears increasingly frustrated with Ukraine. The President has blamed high gas and diesel prices in the US on Ukrainian strikes against Russian refineries, even as the war against Iran has disrupted global energy markets.

The interview came after Trump announced a diesel deal with Putin. The agreement marks a shift in US policy toward Russian energy exports. Washington banned imports of Russian petroleum products in 2022 following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The Treasury Department has issued a temporary license allowing Russian diesel to enter the global market.

Axios reported that the deal resulted from Zelensky refusing to stop attacking Russian energy targets. “Zelensky is misreading the room. By continuing to hit refineries, he is eroding the goodwill that he has built with Trump over the last six months,” a US official told the outlet. 

European officials speaking with the Financial Times said they received calls from their American counterparts on Saturday and Sunday threatening to stop the procurement system that provides Ukraine with weapons. The threats are intended to push Ukraine into an energy truce. 

The threats included suspending intelligence sharing and the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL), a NATO-coordinated mechanism through which European countries purchase American weapons for Ukraine.

Zelensky also said Ukraine was not receiving advance warning from its partners about Russian ballistic missile attacks and claimed that its access to SpaceX’s Starshield system had been restricted.
