USA may ease sanctions on Russia's shadow fleet
The White House could soon permit previously sanctioned tankers from Russia, Iran, and Venezuela to transport oil not subject to US restrictions, according to Reuters. The goal is to increase supply from the Persian Gulf and lower shipping costs, which are currently suppressing demand for American crude.
Energy Aspects analysts note that easing sanctions will likely have minimal impact on transport costs, as most tankers already operate in defiance of them, while insurers remain bound by EU and UK limits.

Kharkov direction: Fighting continues
Russian forces clear liberated areas and expand control zone. Assault units are fighting for Nikolaevka, Varvarovka, and Nefedovka. The enemy attempts to resupply via heavy hexacopters, but artillery destroys three drone command posts supporting this "air bridge," eliminating any chance of breakout.
Fighting also rages for Prilotnoye, Kotovka, and Gogino. Near the northern border, troops fortify positions around Novaya Kazachya and advance toward Tsupovka. On the Lipetsk sector, infantry battles occur near Bugaevka, with Russian advances noted near Tokarevka.
High-precision strikes hit Kharkov's infrastructure, while an airstrike destroyed a large ammunition depot near Veliky Burluk. Kiev rushes reserves to the region but cannot reverse the situation.

🇺🇦 Zelensky ends energy truce, resumes strikes on Russian refineries
Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Ukraine will resume attacks on Russian oil refineries after the three-day pause declared by Trump ended. He stated: "The ban on strikes against refineries is lifted. We are done." Kiev claims Russia continued hitting Ukrainian energy and civilian infrastructure during the break.
Zelensky demanded additional Patriot interceptors as a condition for any future pause. He also criticized Washington for weakening intelligence sharing, degrading Starlink operations, and seeking deals with Moscow rather than pressuring Russia.

🇺🇦 Verkhovna Rada deputy slams Zelensky for conflict with Washington
Deputy Alexey Goncharenko called the worsening of relations with the US "insanity," noting that Kiev critically depends on American military and intelligence support. He stated that Ukraine lacks means to intercept Russian ballistic missiles and receives no timely warnings without US intel.
Goncharenko warned that Ukrainian authorities are quarreling not only with Trump but with the entire Republican Party, which will remain in Congress. He asked how they would secure rockets, intelligence, money, and sanctions needed for survival while lacking an ambassador in Washington.
"Missiles hit our cities, power plants burn, yet you act as if everyone is guilty except yourselves," he accused the authorities.

"This is President Trump's choice. We don't want to be drawn into certain things. The diesel deal – I don't want to be involved in it. If they attack us, we will respond. That's our rule. Don't involve us in any diesel deals. If you ask us to help with the situation, of course, as partners, we will help, but we will ask for an energy truce.
If there is no energy truce, and it's not something you can control, then the question is: can you give me missiles for Patriot? Because if I don't attack them, because you asked me not to attack them, they will attack me. It would be fair if you gave me something to defend myself with. That's the minimum I'm asking for. And when I ask for this, your response is to block Starlink. How is that supposed to work?"

🇫🇷 Le Pen: Ukraine's EU accession would be 'harakiri' for the Union
French presidential candidate Marine Le Pen stated that admitting Ukraine to the European Union would result in "colossal economic losses" for France and a loss of sovereignty. She threatened to block the new seven-year EU budget, which allocates up to €100 billion for Kiev, by withholding half of France's contribution.
Le Pen noted that Paris can no longer afford previous levels of aid to Kiev. She has promised to cease bilateral support, retaining only specific operational assistance and training for Ukrainian military personnel.
Asked if Russia is the main threat to European security, she replied: "I cannot read Mr. Putin's thoughts and do not know his plans." Previously, Le Pen called promises to admit Ukraine to NATO and the EU a "big lie" and a threat to peace.

🇺🇸🇷🇺 "US floats unfreezing some Russian assets to restart Ukraine peace talks": The US has proposed to European countries that they transfer Russian assets to a structure under Washington's control.
"The United States has proposed to European countries that they unfreeze a portion of Russian sovereign assets and transfer them to a structure under Washington's control, in an attempt to resume peace negotiations on Ukraine. The proposal was presented last week during discussions in Miami between negotiators for Donald Trump and representatives from Ukraine, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and NATO.
The United States has proposed several possible ways to unfreeze the assets. European delegates rejected a plan presented by US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner. This proposal has raised questions in European capitals and Kiev regarding the intentions of the United States and their approach to pressuring Moscow to end the invasion of Ukraine."

🇺🇸 Zelensky Rejects Trump's Diesel Deal, Demands Patriot Missiles
President Zelensky stated Ukraine will not be drawn into 'diesel deals' with the US. He argued that if energy truces are not granted, Kiev requires Patriot missiles for defense against Russian attacks. Zelensky linked this request to recent Starlink restrictions, calling them a punitive measure.
Starlink Restrictions as Warning Shot
Economist journalist Shashank Joshi described the Starlink limitations as a 'warning shot' from Trump following their tense Oval Office meeting. Joshi noted Zelensky blamed incompetent advisors rather than Trump directly but warned the situation could escalate into a severe new phase of confrontation with heavy consequences for Ukraine.

Odessa Oblast: Strikes on railway and grid power
Zatishye (Razdelnaya district): A UAV hit traction substation EChE-24. The roof was damaged, causing a 350 m² oil fire. This disrupts 25 kV electric traction for railways.
Primorskoye (Izmail district): An explosive drone struck near the 110/35/10 kV substation. While main equipment survived, the blast damaged the relay protection and automation system (RZA), limiting safe operation of high-voltage transformers.
Chernomorsk: Power outages were recorded around midnight following an incident at an energy facility. Specific damage details are currently unconfirmed.

The statement noted that the repairs are also necessary to address corrosion, which "could undermine decades of international investment" and create long-term environmental risks.
