Russia continued striking Ukrainian energy facilities after US President Donald Trump announced that Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Tuesday.
Zelenskiy said Ukraine learned through media reports of the purported ceasefire and was willing to comply if Russia did the same. Trump said the pause took effect immediately but provided few details. According to Zelenskiy, subsequent Russian attacks hit a power plant in Kharkiv, a gas production facility and a civilian gas station. Al Jazeera also reported strikes on Kyiv’s energy grid and an attack that killed 12 people in Dnipropetrovsk.
Asked Tuesday about Russia’s continued attacks, Trump said Ukraine had struck multiple sites the previous day and described both countries as “a little off,” The Hill reported.
The dispute followed Trump’s agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin to bring increasing quantities of Russian diesel onto global markets through December. Trump said the imports would lower fuel prices. The agreement would suspend sanctions on Russian oil products until April 2027, according to Al Jazeera.
Zelenskiy criticized sanctions relief, saying concessions to Putin would not produce peace. He said Kyiv was prepared to stop attacking Russian refineries if Moscow halted strikes on Ukraine’s energy system, but warned Ukraine would respond if Russia did not comply.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said funding for Ukraine would be central to this week’s European Council summit. The European Union’s top diplomat welcomed the prospect of an energy ceasefire but said there was no indication Russia would respect it.
