Zelensky says Russian strikes hit Ukrainian energy facilities repeatedly
Ukraine's president alleges repeated attacks since an announced energy truce, amid new power outages in several regions.
Also in:Українська
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russian forces repeatedly targeted the country's energy infrastructure after US President Donald Trump announced a proposed energy truce. The count is Zelensky's own account, reported by Ukrinform and NV.ua, and was not independently verified.
Zelensky said the attacks involved electricity substations, oil and gas infrastructure and other energy sites. Overnight strikes affected parts of Vinnytsia and other regions, where local officials reported power interruptions.
The Ukrainian president argued that easing pressure on Moscow had not stopped the attacks and called for continued measures against Russia. Those comments were a political assessment, not independent proof about the number or origin of every incident.
The reporting separately described civilian casualties from strikes on homes in Zaporizhzhia and Poltava. Those are distinct incidents and their casualty counts should not be added together unless attributed to an official combined statement.
