Wartime elections idea comes from Putin, not Trump - MP

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine refrained from attacking Russian energy facilities overnight, as announced by U.S. President Donald Trump, who had called for an energy truce between the two nations. However, Zelenskyy said Russia continued to strike Ukrainian gas stations and energy infrastructure, effectively answering Trump's call with additional attacks.

Addressing these developments, Zelenskyy appeared on Fox News and addressed the Warsaw Security Forum, stating that Russia's strikes on Ukrainian gas stations and energy infrastructure were clear signals that the war would continue. He added that Ukraine would not disclose its future actions and that a clear and fair offer was on the table: Ukraine would observe an energy truce if Russia reciprocated.

Zelenskyy reported that overnight, Russian jets hit Russian refineries with jet-powered Shahed strikes, while Russia also attacked a gas production facility and several gas stations. He emphasized that Russia had violated the energy truce and that new Shahed strikes continued throughout the morning, entering Ukrainian airspace over Kyiv and other cities.

Zelenskyy noted that after Ukraine began responding to Russian strikes against its data centers, social media platforms experienced less hatred and hostility, attributing this to the reduction in bot activity. He stressed the importance of Americans witnessing the reality of events in Europe as evening approached in Europe.
