Trump says Russia and Ukraine agree to an 'energy ceasefire' but Kyiv says attacks continue
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an "energy ceasefire" in the 4 1/2-year-old war, but
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on social media that Russia and Ukraine had reached a ceasefire regarding energy infrastructure in the ongoing war, effective immediately. He urged all parties involved not to break the ceasefire. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Russian attacks continued on energy sites in Kyiv and Kharkiv, including a power plant in Kharkiv.
Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine was prepared to refrain from striking Russian energy infrastructure in return for the same willingness from Russia. Despite Ukraine's proposal, no agreement was reached. Zelenskyy expressed hope that Russia would reconsider its stance. Meanwhile, a drone attack on a Yandex data center in Moscow caused widespread outages, impacting users across Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Armenia.
