Ukraine has launched renewed attacks on Russian oil refineries, prompting President Trump to publicly condemn the strikes as a 'disgrace' and blame Ukraine for expensive fuel. This escalation coincides with Zelensky rejecting deals based on frozen Russian assets and dismissing current peace talks as a 'parody,' signaling a hardening of positions. The resulting supply fears have pushed crude oil past $106, creating a hostile environment for fuel-intensive industries while benefiting energy producers and refiners.
