U.S. claims energy strike halt agreed between Russia and Ukraine as attacks continue

Cross-border strikes between Russia and Ukraine persisted overnight despite diplomatic developments and reported agreements on targeting limitations. U.S. President Donald Trump stated that both nations agreed to refrain from striking energy infrastructure. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy clarified that Kyiv will only halt attacks if Western partners ensure Moscow refrains from targeting Ukraine's energy facilities, infrastructure, and supply routes.

Russian drone and missile salvos hit several regions, causing civilian casualties in Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. European Union officials also denounced a Russian strike near the Ukrainian-Polish border, describing it as an effort to divide and intimidate European partners. In response, Ukrainian drones targeted a Russian oil refinery alongside locations in Belgorod and Sochi.

The military activity comes as U.S. envoys visit Kyiv and Moscow to discuss peace proposals, ahead of Zelenskyy's planned visit to the United States.
