Zelensky tells Trump Russia keeps violating his energy ceasefire

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine warned on October 18 that Russia has violated a ceasefire on energy supplies 76 times since U.S. President Donald Trump declared it on October 11. Despite the truce announcement, Russia has continued its attacks on Ukrainian energy and oil facilities, causing power outages for tens of thousands of families.

The Kremlin denies making any commitments to the truce, while the U.S. administration continues to pressure Ukraine to cease attacks on Russian oil facilities. Zelensky called on the U.S. to pressure Russia to face consequences for failing to adhere to the truce, stating that Russia must be the one to give peace a chance.
