Kyiv says Russian strikes on energy facilities continue despite Trump's 'energy ceasefire'

On Monday, Ukrainian officials reported that Russian forces have continued to strike energy infrastructure despite U.S. President Donald Trump announcing an "energy ceasefire" between the warring nations over the weekend. The strikes persist even as the conflict, which has been ongoing for four and a half years, remains a focal point of international diplomatic efforts.

In response to the ongoing attacks, President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukraine intends to retaliate if Russia does not adhere to the proposed ceasefire. The situation remains fluid as Kyiv monitors the effectiveness of the U.S.-brokered initiative against the reality of continued military operations on the ground.
