Summary

Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked the Trump administration for resuming intelligence sharing, saying the US had unblocked information about impending Russian ballistic missile strikes; he maintained that the US had intentionally throttled Starlink access to send him a message. The Guardian reports two people killed and at least 17 injured as Russia and Ukraine continue strikes on power infrastructure, and says a Ukrainian drone attack involving more than 1,000 drones on Russian oil depots, logistics facilities and datacentres killed one person and wounded 15. This follows reports that Ukraine attacked a Russian refinery and said it abandoned a brief energy truce because Moscow had not heeded it.
