Zelenskyy Says Russia Strikes Energy Facilities Despite Trump Claim of an Energy Ceasefire
Ukrainian officials said Russia struck energy sites in Kyiv and Kharkiv after Trump announced a ceasefire, while air defenses downed 89 of 121 drones overnight.
- On Monday, Ukrainian officials reported that Russian forces continued striking energy facilities, contradicting U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement one day earlier of an 'energy ceasefire' in the 4 1/2-year-old war.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the announcement as 'good news for everyone,' yet reported Russia continued hitting energy infrastructure in Kyiv and Kharkiv, with skies 'infested with Russian shaheds' throughout Sunday.
- Over the past week, Russia carried out over 200 strikes on electricity infrastructure and 17 on gas and oil facilities, killing 150 people, while armies remain largely deadlocked on the front line.
- Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna dismissed the deal in Luxembourg, saying it is 'much more connected to the domestic situation in the U.S.' than a genuine conflict shift.
- Kyiv recently pressed its campaign against Russian infrastructure, with a drone attack shutting down a Yandex data center in Vladimir—the third strike on the company's facilities in four days.
