Russia Pounds Ukraine's Energy Grid Despite Trump's Ceasefire Push, Zelenskyy Says - [your]NEWS

Russia has continued strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure despite President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s criticism of Moscow disregarding Donald Trump’s proposed energy ceasefire. Zelenskyy said overnight missile and drone attacks left at least 600,000 people without electricity, with Ukrainian officials reporting power stations, oil facilities, and natural gas infrastructure targeted for a third consecutive night. The Ukrainian president questioned whether Moscow plans to participate, noting Trump’s Sunday announcement that Russia and Ukraine agreed to halt attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure, while the Kremlin has not confirmed a formal agreement. Zelenskyy urged a stronger international response, including more U.S. air defense and tougher sanctions. Associated Press reported 39 ballistic missiles and more than 120 drones launched overnight against Kyiv, the surrounding region, and northeastern Kharkiv.
