Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has backed US President Donald Trump's call for an energy ceasefire with Russia. However, he said Russian forces continued to attack Ukraine's power plants. Trump claimed the ceasefire was effective immediately but gave no details. Zelensky said Ukraine was ready to stop attacking Russian energy sites if Moscow agreed. He accused Russia of striking a power plant in Kyiv and energy facilities in Kharkiv after Trump's announcement. The proposed truce comes as both countries continue attacks on energy infrastructure. The deal has also faced criticism from US lawmakers and European officials.
