U.S. President Donald Trump announced an “energy ceasefire” between Russia and Ukraine, but details were scarce, and attacks on Ukrainian energy sites continued. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the announcement but reported ongoing Russian strikes on energy infrastructure in Kyiv and Kharkiv. Zelenskyy expressed Ukraine’s willingness to halt strikes on Russian energy facilities if Russia reciprocated. Despite Trump’s claim of an agreement, Moscow did not comment, and Zelenskyy noted Russia’s strategy of targeting Ukrainian energy to weaken civilian resistance. Zelenskyy maintained communication with international leaders and urged Trump to pressure Russia to stop its attacks. Previously, Trump suggested Ukraine needed new leadership, criticizing Zelenskyy’s efforts.
