Russia launched fresh attacks on Ukraine overnight and on October 12, killing civilians and injuring dozens, according to Ukrainian officials. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Moscow of violating the energy ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump. Strikes hit energy facilities in Kyiv and Kharkiv, raising doubts about the proposed truce. Zelenskyy urged Washington to ensure Russia respects the arrangement and said Ukraine had not attacked Russian refineries overnight.
