Russian strikes hit Ukrainian energy sites after Trump ceasefire claim

Russia struck energy sites in Ukraine on Oct.

11, including power plants in Kyiv and Kharkiv.

The attacks caused power outages in Kyiv, and the city also reported damage to a high-voltage power line and reduced water pressure.

Earlier that day, US President Donald Trump said Russia and Ukraine had agreed to stop attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure.

Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, said he was seeking details, while a Ukrainian official said the country had no information about an agreement; Russia had not confirmed it.

Russia has repeatedly attacked Ukraine’s energy infrastructure since its full-scale invasion began in February 2022, while Ukraine has struck Russian oil refineries.

Ukraine said it supports a ceasefire, but stressed that Russia must also agree to it.

Zelensky said he was seeking further details, and the attacks raise concern about continued disruption to power and heating as winter approaches.
