Ukraine Reports Russian Ceasefire Violations Hours After Agreement
A temporary halt to energy infrastructure attacks, brokered by Trump, is undermined as Zelenskyy seeks U.S. support for defense systems.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to a 30-day ceasefire on attacks targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure following discussions with Donald Trump.
- Despite the agreement, Ukraine reported that Russia launched 145 drones and multiple missiles overnight, hitting energy facilities.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also committed to suspending attacks on Russian energy and civilian infrastructure as part of the deal.
- Trump proposed U.S. ownership of Ukrainian power plants to protect the country's energy infrastructure, though the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant remains under Russian control.
- Zelenskyy requested additional Patriot air defense systems from the U.S., with Trump expressing willingness to explore availability, particularly in Europe.
