Zelenskyy says Russia attacked Ukrainian energy sector 76 times in past week
Zelenskyy said the attacks hit substations and other energy sites, leaving tens of thousands of families without electricity and killing civilians.
- On Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Russian forces have attacked Ukraine's energy and oil-and-gas infrastructure 76 times since President Donald Trump announced an energy ceasefire one week ago.
- Neither Kyiv nor Moscow has confirmed the reported ceasefire agreement, reflecting a gap between diplomatic signals and intensifying combat operations against Ukrainian infrastructure.
- Russian forces launched nearly 2,700 attack drones, 1,700 aerial bombs, and 66 missiles at Ukraine over the past week. "The main goals of these strikes are precisely energy, the Russians are trying to create a blackout," Zelensky said.
- Overnight strikes hit electrical substations in Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, and Odesa, leaving tens of thousands without electricity. Attacks on residential areas killed two people and injured 12 others, including two children.
- These systematic bombardments demonstrate that economic concessions and sanctions relief have failed to curb the Kremlin's war effort. Emergency crews continue working around the clock to restore power supplies across affected regions.
