Ukraine war live: Zelensky demands Trump press Putin to honour energy ceasefire

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky called on US president Donald Trump to push Russia to observe an energy ceasefire. Zelensky said Russian forces struck Ukrainian energy infrastructure overnight.

Trump had said Russia agreed to a limited pause in attacks on energy targets, but the Kremlin has not confirmed or denied the claim. Zelensky said the strikes continued hours after Trump’s announcement.

Power cuts were reported in parts of Ukraine, including after an attack on a power plant. Zelensky said Kyiv was ready to respect the pause if Russia did the same, and said Ukrainian forces had left Russian oil refineries untouched the previous night.

The Independent also reported that Trump was reportedly threatening to block a weapons procurement system for Ukraine if Kyiv continued strikes on Russian energy infrastructure. The article did not provide further details about the threat.
