Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of attacking Ukrainian energy facilities after US President Donald Trump announced that Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to an immediate ceasefire covering energy infrastructure.
Trump declared the agreement Sunday on Truth Social as “effective immediately” but provided no details. Zelenskyy said he learned of it through the media and was awaiting terms from Washington, while Moscow did not confirm the agreement. Ukraine nevertheless supports a reciprocal halt, Zelenskyy said, adding that Kyiv would refrain from attacking Russian energy sites if Russia did the same.
On Monday, Zelenskyy said Russia had struck six Ukrainian energy facilities following Trump’s announcement, injuring 33 people. Ukraine’s state oil and gas company Naftogaz reported damage to gas-production equipment in the Kharkiv region, while grid operator Ukrenergo reported power cuts in Kharkiv, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia after attacks damaged energy equipment. Zelenskyy urged Washington to ensure Russian compliance and said Ukraine would respond if Moscow continued its attacks.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday that Ukraine did not deserve the “respite” a ceasefire would provide. French President Emmanuel Macron also said he had seen no evidence that Russia was observing an energy truce.
Trump’s announcement followed pressure on Ukraine to stop striking Russian oil refineries. Russia and Ukraine have attacked each other’s energy infrastructure for months.

WHAT THE EDITOR DID
The second model checked the writer's draft against the same sources and changed it before publication. Struck words were in the draft; underlined words are its corrections.
WHAT IT FLAGGED editor revise: Two unsupported or incomplete details can be corrected by adding the sourced timing from Trump’s post and deleting an unsourced clause about Lavrov. - "Trump declared the agreement Sunday on Truth Social but provided no details.": The story omits the sourced detail that Trump said the ceasefire was “effective immediately,” which is necessary context for the headline and lead claim that strikes violated the announced ceasefire. - "Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Monday that Ukraine did not deserve the “respite” a ceasefire would provide, but did not confirm the purported arrangement.": The source only says Lavrov made the “respite” remark; it does not say he did not confirm the arrangement.
