Ukraine reported a missile strike on its power plant in Kharkiv hours after Trump announced an energy ceasefire with Russia. The attack occurred shortly after Trump's announcement, raising questions about the agreement's validity. Zelensky confirmed the strike and criticized Trump's lack of clarity on the ceasefire's timeline.
Russian missiles hit a Kharkiv grocery store, killing three and injuring nine, including two children. The attack followed a strike on a power plant, with Ukraine reporting over 200 attacks on energy infrastructure in the past week. Zelensky called for clarity on the ceasefire's implementation and warned of continued Russian aggression.
Ukraine awaits specifics from Washington on the ceasefire, with Zelensky rejecting Trump's call for a new leader. The U.S. has temporarily lifted sanctions on Russian fuel, prompting European leaders to support Ukraine. Zelensky emphasized that elections can only occur with a 60-day ceasefire, underscoring the need for Russian compliance.
Zelensky criticized Trump for blaming Ukraine for U.S. diesel prices, highlighting the political tensions between the two nations. The U.S. president's actions have drawn criticism from European leaders, who urge increased pressure on Russia to resume peace talks.
