Kyiv says Russia hits energy targets despite Trump ceasefire announcement
KYIV, Oct 12 (Reuters) - Russia hit at least six energy targets during deadly airstrikes across Ukraine, showing it had no interest in an energy ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday.
On October 12, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy accused Russia of hitting at least six energy targets during airstrikes in Ukraine, indicating a lack of interest in an energy ceasefire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump. Trump announced the supposed energy ceasefire despite the ongoing war, raising skepticism among Ukraine's European allies who approved the largest set of sanctions since Russia's 2022 invasion.
Zelenskiy stated that Russia showed no intention of accepting the proposed energy ceasefire and continued its terrorist air attacks against Ukrainian people and communities. The Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected Zelenskiy's proposal for a full 60-day truce, stating that Russia does not want a ceasefire and is committed to achieving long-term peace.
