Ukraine reports six energy targets hit after Trump’s ceasefire announcement

Russia struck at least six Ukrainian energy targets during overnight and morning attacks, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday, after US President Donald Trump announced an immediate energy ceasefire. Reuters and Associated Press reported that no jointly published agreement or monitoring terms had emerged, and Moscow had not confirmed accepting the halt.

Zelenskiy identified a gas facility and a petrol station among the targets and said Ukraine carried out no overnight attacks on Russian refineries. He said Kyiv would support a reciprocal pause if Russia observed it. Associated Press also reported Russian drone attacks on Kharkiv and Kyiv, with civilian casualties and damage still being assessed.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said discussions about energy targets were continuing, but stated that Russia wanted a broader peace settlement rather than a ceasefire. He separately rejected Zelenskiy’s proposal for a 60-day comprehensive truce that could allow Ukraine to hold elections under suspended wartime rules.

The reported strikes do not by themselves settle whether negotiations are continuing, but they show that Trump’s announcement had not produced a verifiable halt on the ground. Confirmation would require matching commitments, a start time and a method for investigating alleged violations.
