Russia Strikes Kyiv Energy Grid, Ignoring US-Brokered Truce

Russian forces launched a large-scale attack on energy infrastructure in Kyiv, its surroundings, and other Ukrainian cities, appearing to disregard the "energy ceasefire" announced by the US president. The attack follows a truce declared by President Donald Trump, which Moscow has not confirmed it will honor. Kyiv harshly criticized Washington, accusing it of "helping Russia in its war" due to reduced intelligence support, though the US administration denies scaling back cooperation. President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated that Ukraine received no warnings twice about ballistic missile launches on Kyiv. A senior Ukrainian official anonymously accused Washington of aiding Russia and slowing Starlink services, amid escalating tensions affecting the battlefield situation.
