Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia on Wednesday of disregarding a proposed “energy ceasefire” after strikes hit power infrastructure across Ukraine, killing people and disrupting electricity in Kyiv and other regions.
The dispute followed U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of a deal allowing Russian diesel exports despite sanctions imposed over Moscow’s invasion. Trump, facing pressure over rising fuel prices, also criticized Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries and called for Ukraine to replace Zelensky.
Zelensky condemned the diesel agreement, saying it would provide money to Russian President Vladimir Putin, and disputed that the available Russian supply would significantly lower global prices. He offered to halt Ukrainian strikes on Russian fuel infrastructure if Moscow stopped attacking Ukraine’s electricity system under enforceable guarantees.
Trump later announced that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an immediate energy ceasefire. Zelensky said Kyiv had not been consulted or received confirmation that Moscow had accepted. He said Ukraine paused refinery strikes, while Russia continued attacking Ukrainian energy facilities.
Ukrainian authorities reported deaths and widespread power cuts after the latest Russian barrage. Zelensky said Ukraine had received no advance warning from Western partners before at least one ballistic-missile strike. Ukrainian officials also reported restrictions affecting some Starlink terminals, which they said hampered military operations.
In an Oct. 14 interview, Zelensky said he felt betrayed by Trump’s approach and that Ukraine was “losing a strong partner.”
