Ukraine war: Trump announces ceasefire in Ukraine - Russians attack

US President Donald Trump announced that all attacks on energy facilities in the Ukraine conflict should immediately stop. However, shortly after, Ukraine's leadership accused Russia of violating this ceasefire, alleging that Russian forces continued attacks on the country and severely hit a heating power plant. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrij Sybiha claimed this was a clear breach of the limited truce.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyj expressed surprise at Trump's announcement but later welcomed a potential limited ceasefire in the energy sector. The EU plans to impose sanctions on nearly 1,600 individuals and organizations for supporting Russia's military-industrial complex.
