Russia, Ukraine Renew Energy Strikes After Trump's Ceasefire Claim, With 200 Drones Hitting Ukraine

3 articles · Updated · NBC News · Sep 15

Summary

  • Russia sent 200 drones into Ukraine overnight, striking energy and port facilities despite Trump's statement that both sides had agreed to stop hitting such targets.
  • Kyiv said the barrage killed one person and injured seven in the capital, while damaging homes and transport infrastructure in southern and western Ukraine.
  • Ukraine answered with strikes on Russia's Syzran oil refinery and on drone-related sites in Taganrog and the Oryol region, underscoring that no verified halt had taken hold.
  • Zelensky had said he would pause energy attacks only if Russia did the same, while the Kremlin called Trump's idea a proposal still under discussion with Washington.
  • The breakdown follows earlier short Trump-brokered pauses that quickly collapsed, as fighting also widened with a new Ukrainian push in Donetsk and fresh NATO-border incidents.
