THE BARE STORY
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia had struck a power plant in eastern Ukraine and attacked six other energy facilities, shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump announced an energy ceasefire.
In a social media statement, Zelenskyy said Ukraine was prepared to guarantee the ceasefire if Russia did the same. He said there was no indication that Russia was complying and called for U.S. pressure on Moscow.
Asked about reported violations, Trump said he was not sure and would review the matter. He said violations had occurred on both sides and said he believed Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted an agreement more than Zelenskyy did.
The International Energy Agency said Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil and gas infrastructure had reduced Russian oil refining and diesel production in 2026. Russian strikes on Ukraine’s power grid have contributed to outages ahead of winter, according to the summary.
