9 outletsCoverage diverges: Coverage is divided along political lines: right-leaning outlets emphasize Zelensky's defiance of Trump and call the strikes a 'disgrace', while left-leaning outlets highlight Ukraine's right to self-defense and criticize Trump's deal with Russia.

Ukraine has resumed drone strikes on Russian oil refineries after President Zelensky declared the U.S.-brokered dead, accusing Russia of violating it. Separately, the Trump administration cancelled plans to livestream the December execution of a Fort Hood shooter, following bipartisan backlash. These are two unrelated stories bundled in The Economist's daily news digest.
The claim is solid, reported by multiple reputable outlets (Reuters, WSJ, The Economist, AP) based on official statements from Ukrainian President Zelensky and U.S. officials. The reporting sits close to the primary sources: Zelensky's public declaration ending the energy truce and White House confirmation of the livestream cancellation.
