Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that a Russian strike hit an energy facility in Kyiv on Sunday, directly contradicting claims made earlier in the day by U.S. President Donald Trump. President Trump had stated that both Russia and Ukraine had reached an agreement to cease strikes on each other’s energy infrastructure, a move intended to de-escalate the conflict's impact on civilian power grids.

Zelensky’s statement suggests that if such an agreement was reached, it was either not honored or not recognized by Russian forces. The incident raises questions regarding the status of the reported ceasefire and the current level of diplomatic coordination between the involved parties. While the U.S. administration presented the ceasefire as a breakthrough in the ongoing conflict, the situation on the ground in Kyiv indicates that military operations targeting critical infrastructure remain active. No further details regarding the extent of the damage to the Kyiv plant or the specific nature of the strike have been confirmed by independent international observers at this time. The discrepancy between the White House's announcement and the events reported by the Ukrainian government underscores the volatility of the current situation and the difficulty in verifying ceasefire claims in real-time.
