Geopolitical tensions have escalated as Ukraine resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries, directly contradicting US President Trump's preference for de-escalation. Trump's public condemnation of the strikes as a 'disgrace' signals a potential fracture in the US-Ukraine alliance and raises the risk of reduced US intelligence support. This development is bullish for energy supply disruption narratives but bearish for diplomatic stability, potentially leading to broader regional instability.
