Russia and Ukraine traded strikes on energy targets on Tuesday, hours after US President Donald Trump said both sides had agreed to stop such attacks. Russia launched around 200 drones at Ukraine overnight, killing two people. Petrol stations in Kyiv and energy sites in other regions were hit. Ukraine, meanwhile, struck an oil refinery in Russia’s Samara region, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Ukrainian forces also targeted drone production sites. Trump had said both countries agreed not to attack each other’s energy infrastructure. However, the latest strikes have raised fresh doubts over efforts to reduce fighting between Russia and Ukraine.
