Russia hits Kharkiv’s CHP-5 power plant hours after energy ceasefire announcement
Kharkiv’s CHP-5 power plant was hit just hours after Donald Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to stop attacking energy infrastructure. The timing turned the announcement into an immediate test of whether Moscow accepted the ceasefire. Ukrainian officials said Russian Shahed drones, glide bombs, and other infrastructure strikes continued through the day, while Moscow had not publicly confirmed the deal.
The reported damage
Ukraine reported more than 200 strikes on electricity generation and transmission facilities during the preceding week, plus 17 attacks on gas and oil facilities. Kyiv said it was ready for a reciprocal halt but learned of the U.S. announcement through public statements.
