Russia has attacked a power plant in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv despite Donald Trump’s statement earlier Sunday that both sides had agreed to an “energy ceasefire,” according to Ukrainian officials.
A local official told ABC News the thermal power plant CHP-5 was struck at least twice, causing a fire. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a statement confirmed Russia had attacked the plant, as well as another in Kyiv, saying it had taken place after Trump’s announcement.
If the thermal power plant consumes fuel rather than produces it, what does it matter? The alleged reason for the dropping of sanctions is the shortage of fuel. If anything, that would just mean one less plant consuming fuel and a positive from Trump’s perspective.
