Russia and Ukraine launch new energy attacks despite Trump’s ceasefire claim

NBC News general

Key Points:

  • Despite President Trump’s claim that Russia and Ukraine agreed to stop targeting each other’s energy infrastructure, both sides launched new attacks overnight, with Russia firing 200 drones at Ukrainian energy and port facilities, causing casualties and damage.
  • Ukraine retaliated by striking Russian oil refineries and drone facilities, continuing the ongoing conflict marked by near-nightly Russian drone and missile attacks on Ukrainian cities and Ukraine’s intensified strikes deep inside Russia.
  • Trump attributed rising global fuel prices to the Russia-Ukraine war and claimed a deal had been reached to halt energy strikes, but Ukrainian President Zelenskyy expressed skepticism, and the Kremlin described the proposal as still under discussion with the US.
  • On the battlefield, Ukraine announced a new offensive in Donetsk, reclaiming territory from Russian forces, while NATO intercepted an unidentified drone over Lithuanian airspace amid rising tensions near alliance borders.
  • Diplomatic strains escalated as Denmark summoned the Russian ambassador following a Russian warship’s provocative actions toward a Danish military helicopter in the Baltic Sea.
