Ukraine's energy infrastructure remains under attack despite Trump's claim of an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Russian forces struck a thermal power plant in Kharkiv and other energy facilities, violating what Trump declared was an agreement. The attacks highlight ongoing tensions and the lack of immediate compliance with the ceasefire.
Russian forces continued to target Ukrainian energy sites, including a power plant in Kharkiv, following Trump's announcement. Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is willing to agree to an energy ceasefire if Russia stops attacking Ukrainian infrastructure. However, Russia has refused to comply, with Kremlin officials rejecting the proposal for a 60-day truce.
Ukraine has been under martial law since the full-scale invasion, and elections are suspended during the war. Zelenskyy called for a 60-day ceasefire to allow for elections, but Russia has refused. The ongoing conflict and attacks on energy infrastructure underscore the challenges in achieving a lasting peace.
Russia has denied any agreement to a ceasefire, with Kremlin officials stating they do not want a ceasefire and are prepared to achieve long-term peace. The continued attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities indicate that Russia is not committed to the ceasefire proposed by Trump.
