‘Putin does not read Truth Social’ Zelenskyy said Russia continues striking Ukraine’s energy facilities despite Trump’s ceasefire claim

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on Monday that Russia has continued to target Ukraine's energy facilities even after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire, according to media reports. During a speech at the Warsaw Security Forum in Poland, Zelenskyy said Ukraine has considered honoring the proposed agreement if Moscow agrees to it as well.

He mentioned that Russia has been "horribly surprised" by striking energy facilities such as a power plant in Kharkiv and a gas production facility, despite Trump's claim. Zelenskyy sarcastically remarked, "It was clear that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin does not read Truth Social," referring to Trump's social media platform.

The strikes have caused hardship for both Ukraine and Russia, as the strategy of "weaponizing winter" is employed by Russia. Ukraine has retaliated by launching strikes against Russian energy sites, leading to tensions. Trump supported the ceasefire idea but offered no details in his announcement. Meanwhile, European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas expressed skepticism about Russia honoring a potential energy ceasefire, emphasizing the need for protection against civilian casualties.
