Zelenskyy sets condition for halt on energy strikes following Trump claim

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Kyiv will stop targeting Russian energy infrastructure only if Western allies ensure Moscow halts attacks on Ukraine’s energy, logistics, and food supply lines. The statement follows claims by former US President Donald Trump that both nations had mutually agreed to cease strikes on energy targets.

Meanwhile, attacks continue on both sides. Ukrainian strikes reportedly injured seven people in Sochi and Belgorod, while Russian shelling killed two people and injured 14 in Kherson. European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned a recent Russian strike on a train near the Polish border, calling it an attempt to intimidate European partners. Additionally, Zelenskyy issued a decree dismissing Ukraine’s state prosecutor.
