Russian strikes hit multiple Ukrainian power plants on Sunday after US President Donald Trump’s claim that both sides had agreed to stop hitting each other’s energy infrastructure, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
Zelensky, in a post on social media, said a drone had hit a Kyiv power plant, leading to power cuts in the capital.
Soon after, he said there had been a strike on the CHP-5 power plant in the eastern city of Kharkiv, while adding that “Ukrainian skies have been infested with Russian ‘shaheds’ all day”, referring to a type of drone.
Trump had announced on Sunday morning in Washington that “effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine”.
