Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he supports an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia announced by U.S. President Donald Trump Sunday, but strikes continue.
“Ukraine always FULLY supports steps toward de-escalation, the protection of lives, and the decisions needed to end the war and guarantee lasting peace,” Zelenskyy wrote in a post onsocial media.
In an evening address, the Ukrainian president said Russia was still hitting energy infrastructure in Kyiv and in the city of Kharkiv.
“Unfortunately, Ukrainian skies have been infested with Russian ‘shaheds’ all day today,” he said. “There have been glide bomb strikes and strikes on our energy infrastructure too. A power plant in Kharkiv was attacked this evening.”
The presidential office confirmed the Kharkiv attack came after Trump’s ceasefire post.
Zelenskyy said he has discussed the ceasefire with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Finland President Alexander Stubb and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
He said he is awaiting more information from the U.S.
“Ukraine supports the ceasefire,” Zelenskyy said. “And it is important that Russia support it as well.”
Trump announced the ceasefire on his platform Truth Social Sunday morning but did not give many details.

He said the ceasefire was effective immediately and both Ukraine and Russia had agreed.
“Do not break it!” he wrote.
The White House has not clarified the president’s post or added any detail.
In an interview with ABC’s “This Week” that aired Sunday, Zelenskyy said Ukraine was ready to stop striking Russian refineries if Moscow halted attacks on Ukraine’s energy system.
He then asked Trump to press the Kremlin to agree.
On Saturday, Trump said it was time for Ukraine to get a new president and blamed Zelenskyy for rising diesel prices.
In response, the Ukrainian president said the country could hold elections if Russia agreed to a 60-day ceasefire – Ukraine has been under martial law since Russia’s invasion in 2022 and the country’s Constitution bars elections while it remains in force.
“Give us two months, 60 days off,” Zelenskyy said, but added, “with all respect to President Trump, it’s up to our society, up to our people to choose one or another leader.”
During his discussion with Zelenskyy, Carney criticized Trump’s agreement with Russia, announced Friday, that secures the supply of million of tonnes of diesel fuel to the United States.
“The prime minister was clear: this agreement is in direct opposition to the efforts of Ukraine, Canada, and our allies to create peace and stability in Europe,” a PMO readout said.
“It will provide additional revenue for Russia and help finance its illegal, unjustifiable war against Ukraine.”
Carney also underscored Canada remains willing to expand its Russia sanctions.
Ukraine targets Russia data centre in drone strike
On Sunday, Kyiv pressed its campaign against infrastructure deep inside Russia with a drone attack shutting down a data centre run by Russian technology giant Yandex. This marks the third strike on the company’s facilities in four days.
The attack caused outages across the company’s services in dozens of Russian cities as well as in Kazakhstan, Belarus and Armenia, according to a Russian news outlet.
Yandex said operations have been “completely halted.” No injuries were reported.
On Thursday, a drone attack took out a Yandex data centre in the Ryazan region, southeast of Moscow. A day later, Ukrainian drones hit the company’s major data centre in the Kaluga region, southwest of Moscow.
Yandex, often described as Russia’s Google, runs the country’s most popular search engine and is heavily involved in Russia’s artificial intelligence development.
Death toll in Zaporizhzhia rises
Zelenskyy said search and rescue operations have ended in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia after a Russian bombing on Saturday.
Twenty-three people were killed in the attack, including four children, authorities said. More than 30 people were wounded.

Anonymous @9pm. “The EU started the war with its imperialistic pursuit?” Did you take a blow to the head recently? Or are you dimwitted? Russia (Little man Putin) attacked Ukraine thinking this was going to be easy. Sadly he was wrong and the war continues with millions of casualties on both sides. The war goes on because of Putin not the EU.
Patience, Putin will get to zelenskyy
Russia went in to areas full of 95+% Russian ethnic background, who declared independence from the Kiev junta because of the illegal coup in 2013/2014. So Russia didnt invade Ukraine, they went in to Russian areas to protect the innocent civilians from the Ukrainians. Too bad it wasn’t 8 years sooner; since 2014 Ukraine’s war criminal government had already killed 13,000 people in the breakaway regions. Anyone would have been justified to go in under those circumstances. And Russia’s restraint during the war has been incredible. It’s only just now that they’re taking their gloves off. The timing is probably because Europe’s financial catastrophe is all but assured now, given that Ukraine has absolutely no chance of paying back the aid loans.
It won`t end and you can blame the EU and Zelenski as he wants more money he won`t stop until Cnada is bankrupt and the the EU will have taxpayers giving them money
Another war he’s going to claim to have ended!
False, the EU started the war with its imperialist pursuit of bringing Europe, a continent Russia stradles along with Asia under its control.
They said they didn’t want to see it, and were ignored rather than spoken to.
EU, failed at basic diplomatic efforts that are costing taxpayers billions throughout the western hemisphere.
Russian Bear? What year do you think it is?

Russia started the war. Ukraine had the courage to mobilize and fight back….now many years later it’s a stalemate. Hopefully peace can be reached but you have to pay off the Russian Bear one way or another.”

Anonymous the village idiot. There you are! Always angry because Ben is smarter than you.
The Russian commenters are out in full force today, trying to convince us Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine was somehow legal! It wasn’t.
@ben, carnholes a dicktaster you meant to say
Hopefully one day Putin livestreams zelenskyy demise worldwide
@Anonymous 609pm. Russian commenter spreading more misinformation. Russia and Moscow don’t have real elections. The elections are predetermined by Putin.
We need to stop Russia now. It is testing NATO defenses and continues its illegal war in Ukraine. History has shown if you appease a dictator like Putin, they eventually come for you.
It’s crazy that the news doesn’t mention how Ukraine used 1900 drones to attack Moscow during the final day of elections.
Before the war, Zel was worth less than one million dollars (American). Now he’s worth over twenty million. Get a grip!
Yall figure it out yet?
THEY ARE ALL PLAYING FOR THE SAME TEAM

@ all of you Russia and the terrorist Putin started the war. The Ukraine isn’t killing or kidnapping like Russia is.
Hahaga zelcucksky
Those Liberal tears are tasty.
Of course Zelenskyy wants a cease fire. That way he can get more munitions into the country. Why would Russia want that? Zelenskyy needs to think about negotiating peace. That is what Russia has wanted all along. Zelenskyy escalated things by attacking deep into Russia. So of course Putin responds. – If Zelenskyy wanted a cease fire, then why the escalation? Not understanding the consequences of his actions
Unfortunately they will not impeach Trump, so the world has to suffer his tantrums and delusions for a while yet.
Zelrnskyy, just give up already. We’re broke and tried of paying for your war!
Can’t wait till Putin takes care of zelenskyy
Funny, I would have said it is the US that needs a new President and that Diesel prices were Trumps fault.
Now all the brain dead Trump supporters will post, just like a warm smelly blast of air!
@A. Actor clown? I thought you were talking about the orange face moron from the Apprentice!
One things for sure if moron Trump says there’s a ceasfire, there definitely wont be a ceasefire. Shouldn’t clown Donnie focus on the war that he launched anyway?
What kind of President would reward Russia, to bomb the Ukraine?
They got to get rid of that actor Clown Zelenskyy.
Can’t have a ceasefire. Carney still
Needs to launder another 28 billion.
Killing innocent people ok… but no blowing up of anything energy related?
trump.. lo..lo with Canada and Ukrin,,
Z and Clowney have a total bromance.
