Ukraine: Russian forces attack power plants after Trump energy ceasefire claim

Source: The Guardian

“Russian strikes hit multiple Ukrainian power plants after Donald Trump claimed both sides had agreed to stop hitting each other’s energy infrastructure, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. The Ukrainian president said on social media a drone had hit a power plant in Kyiv on Sunday, leading to power outages in the capital. Shortly after, he said there had been a strike on the CHP-5 power plant in the eastern city of Kharkiv …. Trump said earlier that ‘effective immediately, there is an energy ceasefire in the war between Russia and Ukraine’. ‘Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!’ the US president wrote on his Truth Social platform on Sunday morning in Washington, without further details. Zelenskyy expressed surprise at the announcement, saying the deal was ‘news to me’ and he was seeking further details. Russia has yet to confirm it agreed.” (10/011/26)
