Russia Hits Kharkiv Power Plant Despite Trump Energy Ceasefire Claim

Kyiv says roughly six plants were struck overnight; Moscow denies any ceasefire deal on energy infrastructure was ever reached.

Russia attacked a power plant in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv despite President Donald Trump's statement that both sides had agreed to an "energy ceasefire," according to Ukrainian officials reported by ABC News.

The strike on the Kharkiv power plant came alongside other Russian attacks in the city, where an apartment building was hit, killing four people, according to reporting from NBC News and the Associated Press cited by the Council on Foreign Relations.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine received no advance warning from partners about Russia's latest missile strike on Kyiv, underscoring the value of such warnings in averting civilian casualties, according to an Associated Press report cited by CFR.

The strike in Kharkiv underscores the uncertain status of any proposed energy ceasefire, as strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure continue despite public claims of an agreement.

The casualties in Kharkiv and the exact status of the ceasefire announced by Trump remain unresolved as strikes continue.
