What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on Ukraine resuming strikes on Russian oil refineries or energy targets, and several connect the move to a breakdown in the Trump-backed energy ceasefire. The Independent, NBC News, CBS News, Axios and Reuters foreground the Starlink or Starshield angle, while NPR, BBC News, The Hill and PBS NewsHour lean more on the pause ending after continuing Russian attacks. Tom's Hardware is the outlier, focusing instead on Russian disinformation and data-center traffic, which the other extracts do not mention.
