Zelenskyy rallies European allies as Trump ties slump

What happened: Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sought to rally European allies after saying Kyiv would no longer abide by U.S. President Donald Trump's demands not to strike Russian oil refineries. Why it matters: Relations between Kyiv and Washington have soured since Trump eased sanctions on Russia in exchange for Moscow releasing diesel onto global markets. Outages to a U.S.-provided satellite system have hampered Ukraine's military.
