Russian air strikes targeted multiple Ukrainian power plants on Sunday, following President Donald Trump's claim that an energy ceasefire had been agreed upon between Russia and Ukraine. Kyiv power plant experienced a power outage, while a strike on the CHP-5 power plant in Kharkiv was reported. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed surprise at the announcement and sought more details, while Russia had yet to confirm its agreement.
The energy deal was announced amid tensions between Trump and Zelensky over a US-Russia diesel trade agreement, with Ukraine accusing Russia of targeting its refineries. Zelensky emphasized that the US should choose its own leader, while European leaders, including the European Union and France, continued to support Zelensky's stance for a ceasefire and stability in Europe.
