Russia strikes Ukrainian power plants after Trump announces energy ceasefire

US President Donald Trump said Russia and Ukraine had agreed to stop attacking each other’s energy infrastructure.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he had not been told about the deal and was seeking details, though Ukraine supports a ceasefire if Russia does too.

Russia has not confirmed that it agreed.

On Sunday, Zelensky said Russian strikes hit power plants in Kyiv and Kharkiv, causing outages; Kyiv also reported damage to a power line and reduced water pressure.

Russia has repeatedly attacked Ukrainian energy facilities since its full-scale invasion began in 2022, while Ukraine has targeted Russian oil refineries.

The attacks threaten electricity, water and heating supplies, especially as Ukraine faces the winter months.

Western allies voiced support for an energy ceasefire, but the sources give no details on how it would be enforced or what happens next.
