Ukraine has resumed its attacks on Russian refineries with a strike at an installation in the Ryazan region, the regional governor said on Thursday, after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky voiced his anger at a “dangerous” withdrawal of US intelligence.

What the coverage shows

All three outlets center on Ukraine resuming strikes on Russian refineries and frame the move as a break with Trump-backed hopes for an energy ceasefire. The New York Times and South China Morning Post both foreground Zelensky in the headline, while CNBC emphasizes the collapse of the proposed deal. The South China Morning Post alone adds an extract detail about a strike in Ryazan and Zelensky’s complaint about a “dangerous” withdrawal of US intelligence.
