Russia, Ukraine Strike Energy Sites Despite Trump Ceasefire Claim; 18 Injured
Overnight raids by Russia and Ukraine hit each other's energy infrastructure, injuring at least 18, directly contradicting President Trump's Monday assertion of an agreed energy ceasefire. The attacks signal the ceasefire is not holding or was never fully implemented, raising doubts about the viability of broader de-escalation. This is a continuation of the established pattern of mutual energy strikes, but the deviation from the claimed agreement is the key development.
