Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia struck Ukrainian energy facilities after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure.

Trump announced unilaterally on social media Sunday that an “energy ceasefire” was effective immediately. Zelenskyy said he learned of the purported agreement through the media, while Moscow did not immediately confirm it. On Monday, Trump insisted both leaders had agreed, but said he would examine reports of continued attacks and claimed there had been violations by both sides.

Zelenskyy said Russia attacked six Ukrainian energy facilities on Monday and that 33 people were wounded across the country. Ukrainian officials reported at least 12 injuries after strikes on energy facilities in Kharkiv. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said a strike on an apartment building in the capital killed one person and injured 11, while officials also reported three civilians killed in Donetsk and four wounded in Kramatorsk.

Zelenskyy said Ukraine supported a reciprocal halt to energy attacks and had not struck Russian refineries overnight. He called for security guarantees and urged Washington to ensure Russian compliance, warning that Ukraine would continue long-range strikes if Moscow kept attacking its infrastructure.

Russia rejected any pause in fighting, with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov saying Russia would continue its military campaign. Trump urged Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet and end the war.

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 claims needed tighter attribution to match the sources' descriptions of Trump's announcement and Russia's position. - "Trump said Sunday that an “energy ceasefire” was effective immediately.": The source says Trump announced unilaterally on social media Sunday that both parties had agreed to an energy ceasefire effective immediately, not that he simply stated the ceasefire was in effect as a confirmed fact. - "Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov rejected a pause in fighting": The sources say Russia rejected any pause in fighting and Lavrov promised to press ahead, but do not specifically say Lavrov rejected an energy ceasefire or pause in fighting himself as a direct announcement.
