Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia struck six Ukrainian energy facilities after US President Donald Trump announced that Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to an immediate halt to attacks on energy infrastructure.
Trump declared the “energy ceasefire” on Sunday, saying both sides had agreed. Zelenskyy initially said the announcement was “news to me,” but later backed the proposal and said Ukraine would refrain from attacking Russian energy facilities if Moscow did the same.
Zelenskyy said Russian attacks hit gas and electricity infrastructure, including a power plant in Kharkiv, and injured 33 people across Ukraine. The BBC reported blackouts in Izyum and new power cuts in Kharkiv, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia after damage to energy equipment. Zelenskyy urged Washington to ensure Russia complies and said Ukraine would respond if the attacks continue.
The Kremlin did not confirm that an agreement had taken effect. Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said discussions about a possible energy ceasefire were continuing, while Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Ukraine did not deserve the “respite” a ceasefire would provide.
French President Emmanuel Macron said he had seen no energy ceasefire from Russia during the previous 48 hours. European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas also said she had not yet seen that Russia would stick to such a truce.

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: One quoted characterization of Kaja Kallas should be corrected to match the source wording. - "French President Emmanuel Macron said he had seen no energy ceasefire from Russia during the previous 48 hours. European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas also said there was no evidence that Moscow would observe such a truce.": The story omits that Al Jazeera reported European leaders expressed encouragement at the proposed ceasefire; however, this is not material. The material issue is Kallas did not say there was "no evidence" Moscow would observe the truce; the sourced quote is "We haven’t yet seen that Russia will stick to it."
