Kyiv says Russia breaches Trump's energy ceasefire agreement
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 09:48 · Archive
Ukrainian officials say Russia has continued striking energy facilities despite Trump's announcement of a mutual ceasefire.
Ukrainian officials said Monday that Russia has continued to strike Ukraine's energy facilities even after U.S. President Donald Trump announced an 'energy ceasefire' between the warring countries. The Regional Prosecutor's Office of Kharkiv said Russian forces had attacked an energy facility on the outskirts of the city on Monday.
Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said he 'welcomed' Trump's announcement on Sunday but that Russia was still hitting energy infrastructure in Kyiv and Kharkiv. Trump's social media post announced the ceasefire took effect immediately, stating 'Do not break it!' Trump had previously made a similar claim on 14 September that both countries had agreed 'not to hit' each other's energy infrastructure, but nothing came of that proposal.
Russia has used attacks on energy facilities to deny Ukrainian civilians power, heat and running water, hoping to wear down public resistance to the invasion. Ukrainian officials describe this as 'weaponizing winter'. Ukraine has meanwhile struck Russian energy sites including oil refineries deep within Russian territory. Moscow did not immediately comment on the purported deal.
