Ukraine reports continued strikes despite Trump energy ceasefire

President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday that Russian forces have attacked six Ukrainian energy facilities since the Trump administration announced a ceasefire limiting strikes on power infrastructure. The strikes, which Zelensky described as a breach of the accord, come at a moment when international mediators had signalled progress toward limiting the war's civilian toll.

Moscow has offered little public response to the ceasefire framework, maintaining silence even as Ukraine's government indicated willingness to accept the energy infrastructure accord. The pattern of continued strikes raises questions about whether either party views the arrangement as binding, or whether enforcement mechanisms exist to hold parties to the terms.

Reports from Kyiv and independent monitors suggest the attacks targeted generation capacity in regions already facing winter power shortages. Zelensky has appealed to Western allies for additional air-defence systems, characterising the continued bombardment as evidence that ceasefire announcements require verification and enforcement, not merely diplomatic statements.
