Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of violating a U.S.-announced ceasefire on attacks against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. The accusation came after Russia struck six energy facilities in Ukraine on Monday, according to Zelenskyy. The attacks occurred hours after U.S. President Donald Trump claimed a ceasefire was in effect.
Russian forces reportedly targeted energy infrastructure in multiple locations across Ukraine. Zelenskyy warned that Kyiv would retaliate if Moscow failed to comply with the ceasefire. The Ukrainian leader emphasized that the attacks were deliberate and continued despite the U.S. President’s claim.
The ceasefire was announced by Trump on Sunday, aiming to halt attacks on Ukraine’s energy systems. However, Russian military actions continued, contradicting the agreement. Zelenskyy’s office confirmed the attacks, citing drone strikes and other methods used by Russian forces.
The situation follows months of escalating conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Despite international efforts to de-escalate tensions, attacks on critical infrastructure have persisted. The U.S. And its allies have expressed concern over the ongoing violence, with some calling for stronger sanctions against Russia.
The ceasefire proposal was part of broader diplomatic efforts to reduce hostilities. However, the continued attacks suggest that the agreement has not been respected by all parties involved. The conflict remains a focal point of international attention, with implications for regional stability and global energy security.
