Trump's 'Energy Ceasefire' Collapses as Russia Strikes Ukrainian Power Grids
US President Donald Trump declared an immediate 'energy ceasefire' between Russia and Ukraine on October 11, 2026, but the agreement collapsed within hours as Russian forces struck power plants in Kyiv and Kharkiv. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated he was not informed of the deal and demanded verification, while Moscow has not confirmed any agreement. The announcement followed a controversial US-Russia diesel deal and Trump's public call for Zelenskyy to be replaced, deepening the rift between Washington and Kyiv.
