Six Ukrainian energy sites hit by Russia since Trump announced ceasefire, Zelensky says

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia attacked six energy facilities within hours of US President Donald Trump announcing an energy ceasefire between the countries.

Zelensky reported 33 people injured in attacks on energy sites. Ukraine’s grid operator said damage to equipment caused power cuts in Kharkiv, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia; Izyum also experienced blackouts after power grids were destroyed.

Zelensky said the attacks showed Russia was not accepting the proposed truce. He had earlier said the ceasefire announcement was unexpected, but supported the proposal if the United States ensured Russia observed it.

Moscow says the facilities it attacks support Ukraine’s military operations and are legitimate targets. The article gives no further details on steps to enforce the ceasefire.
