Russia launches 76 strikes on Ukraine's energy sector in a week, Zelenskiy says

uk.investing.com —

Russia launched 76 attacks on Ukraine's energy, oil, and gas infrastructure over the past week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Sunday, despite U.S. President Donald Trump's announced halt to strikes on energy facilities. Zelenskiy accused Moscow of deliberately targeting these sectors in the seven days since Trump declared what he described as an energy ceasefire, with latest strikes hitting electrical substations in Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi, and Odesa. Neither Kyiv nor Moscow has confirmed an agreement to suspend such attacks. The strikes prompted Poland to activate preventive military measures Sunday, with its air force protecting national airspace and airports in Lublin and Rzeszow temporarily suspending flights. The situation underscores security risks for NATO members bordering Ukraine and highlights persistent escalation dangers amid no confirmed ceasefire.
