Ukraine accuses Russia of violating Trump-announced energy truce

US President Donald Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine should immediately stop attacks on energy facilities.

Ukraine said Russian forces continued attacks and hit a heating plant in Kharkiv, injuring six people, according to Ukrainian officials.

The claims could not be independently verified.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine was ready for a limited pause in attacks on energy sites, but said Russia needed to agree.

Russia had not publicly responded by early morning.

Zelenskyy accused the US government of failing to put enough pressure on the Kremlin.

EU foreign ministers were due to consider sanctions against nearly 1,600 people and organizations linked to Russia’s military industry, as well as 77 people involved in elections in occupied Ukrainian areas.

The announcement follows an earlier claim by Trump in September that both sides would stop attacks on energy facilities, after which attacks continued.
