Russia struck six Ukrainian energy facilities just hours after US President Donald Trump announced an immediate ceasefire covering energy infrastructure, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said. According to reports by G4Media and Hungarian outlet 24.hu, the strikes occurred despite Trump's declaration that the truce had taken effect immediately.

At the same time, according to Israeli newspaper Maariv and news site JDN, sharp tensions erupted between Washington and Kyiv. Trump directed blame at the Ukrainian leadership and demanded a halt to strikes on refineries inside Russia, while efforts by his envoys to advance a diesel deal sparked anger in Kyiv and led to the freeze of a planned diplomatic mission to Moscow. Further details have not yet been released.
