Ukraine and Russia strike energy sites despite Trump-Zelenskyy truce talks

cbc.ca

Ukraine and Russia exchanged fresh strikes on energy infrastructure overnight, undermining talks of an energy ceasefire as Zelenskyy prepares to meet Trump at the UN General Assembly. Ukraine hit two Russian oil refineries, while Russia struck southern Ukraine, damaging a Naftogaz facility beyond repair. Trump and Zelenskyy discussed de-escalation steps, but the Kremlin links any moratorium to lifting Western sanctions. Ukrainian strikes have cut Russian gasoline output by 20 percent and diesel by nearly 30 percent, causing domestic shortages. Russia's attacks raise fears of another difficult winter for Ukraine's energy grid, with civilians expressing little hope in negotiations.
