Starlink returns as Ukraine resumes strikes on Russian oil | DW News

Ukraine has resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries after abandoning an energy ceasefire it says Russia repeatedly violated. The attacks have become a source of tension with US President Donald Trump, who argues they are driving up diesel prices. The rift has raised questions over who was behind a temporary disruption to Starshield, Ukraine’s military Starlink system, which is used in Kyiv's defense and battlefield operations.
