Zelensky says Russia hit Ukrainian power plant after Trump declared energy ceasefire | BBC News

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia struck a power plant in Ukraine immediately after US President Donald Trump announced an energy ceasefire. Zelensky said Ukraine is willing to back an energy truce if Moscow does the same, which he said could be a major step toward ending the war. The Kremlin had not commented on the proposal at the time of the report. The proposed truce would see both sides pause attacks on each other's energy facilities. Trump has urged Ukraine to stop strikes on Russian oil infrastructure so Moscow can fulfil a recently agreed deal to release diesel to the US and global markets.
