No New Russian Refinery Strikes Reported After Trump Ceasefire Announcement
Ukrainian drones appeared to avoid Russian oil refineries overnight after U.S. President Donald Trump announced an immediate energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
Russia said its air defenses intercepted 151 Ukrainian drones across 10 regions and annexed Crimea.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine’s forces had received the necessary orders, but accused Russia of striking a power plant in Kharkiv after the announcement.
Russia’s attacks continued elsewhere, including strikes that injured at least 12 people in Kharkiv.
The Kremlin has not confirmed or denied agreeing to ceasefire terms, and Zelensky said Ukraine was waiting for details of talks between Washington and Moscow.

Whether Russia will honor the announced ceasefire remains unclear.
