Ukraine war latest: Russia pounds Kyiv's energy infrastructure as Trump’s energy ceasefire claim catches Ukraine off guard

On October 10-11, Russia intensified its assault on Kyiv's energy infrastructure, while U.S. President Donald Trump announced a purported energy ceasefire, which Ukraine was unaware of. Amid the heightened tensions, Russian strikes targeted civilian facilities, housing, and energy infrastructure across Ukraine, resulting in at least two casualties and 25 injuries.

The Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, suffered power outages and reduced water supply as Russia continued its relentless attacks. The escalating conflict has forced Ukraine to ramp up its drone production by 370% in 2026, with the defense ministry confirming the procurement of 5.5 times more drones than in the same period of the previous year.

The ongoing attacks on Kyiv's energy infrastructure and other civilian facilities are expected to persist throughout the winter months, leaving Ukrainians to endure further hardships.
