Zelenskyy Says Putin Rejected Trump Energy Ceasefire as Russia Hit Ukraine Infrastructure Again

Summary
Zelenskyy said Russia struck Ukrainian gas and power infrastructure after Trump announced an immediate energy ceasefire, calling the attacks Putin’s answer to Washington’s peace push.
Kyiv said it did not hit Russian energy targets overnight and would honor the truce if Moscow stopped, while Zelenskyy rejected a narrower refinery-only pause as insufficient for Ukraine’s electricity security.
More than 200 strikes hit Ukraine’s electricity generation and transmission facilities over the past week, Ukraine’s envoy in Washington said; separate reports said three civilians were killed in the Kharkiv region on Monday.
The dispute also exposed wider friction with Trump, who has criticized Ukrainian refinery strikes and urged new elections; Zelenskyy said only Ukrainians can replace him and that voting would need at least 60 days of security.
