The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed it is violating Trump's "energy truce": a cynical statement

/ Collage UNIAN, photo State Emergency Service of Ukraine, photo Russian Defense Ministry The Russian Ministry of Defense said that on the night of 14 October they attacked energy facilities in several regions of Ukraine. The corresponding statement was published on Telegram.

They claim that facilities in Kyiv, Kyiv region, and Kharkiv region were hit. In particular, they reported damage to the data processing center of JSC "Ukrsibbank," the Darnytsia combined heat and power plant (CHP-4), CHP-5 and CHP-6.

In addition, the occupiers reported a strike on the Trypilska thermal power plant, the "Kyivska" electrical substation, Kharkiv CHP-5 and the Zmiiv thermal power station.

Note that strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure were also confirmed in Kyiv. As the country's prime minister, Serhiy Koretsky, reported, Russia attacked all three CHPs in the capital. He also reported damage to important facilities in other regions of Ukraine.

What preceded this

Note that the Russian strikes occurred against the background of the U.S. president's announcement of an alleged energy truce between Ukraine and Russia. President Volodymyr Zelensky reported as early as 12 October that Moscow had already effectively violated the terms of the truce by attacking Ukraine's energy infrastructure. He also emphasized that Ukraine will respond to the occupiers if they continue to carry out such attacks.

We should note that since the end of last week the Defense Forces have not reported any strikes on oil refineries on Russian territory. Despite this, U.S. President Donald Trump effectively accused Ukraine of violating this truce, saying that Kyiv shelled "many Russian energy facilities."
