Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian forces struck six energy sites in Ukraine after the US president announced that energy infrastructure would not be targeted as part of a ceasefire initiative. Kyiv described the strikes as continuing despite that public assurance.
President Trump had publicly stated that energy infrastructure would be excluded from attacks under his announced ceasefire plan. Zelensky and Ukrainian officials say the fresh strikes came after that declaration, raising questions about whether the commitment was being observed on the ground.
Ukrainian authorities provided the count of six damaged energy sites but did not immediately release detailed information on the scale of damage, the specific locations affected or any casualties resulting from the attacks. Officials did not specify whether the sites included major power stations, transmission lines or other energy-related facilities.
There was no immediate response from Russian authorities to the allegation. The report from Kyiv adds to ongoing disputes between the parties over conduct during the conflict and highlights the sensitivity around strikes that could affect civilian energy supplies.
International reactions and any follow-up verification by independent observers were not available at the time of the report. The claims underscore the difficulties of ensuring compliance with public commitments in an active conflict zone.
