Russia fired airstrikes in about a third of Ukraine’s regions on Friday, as the two countries continue to exchange attacks on energy infrastructure following a week of tensions over the slowdown of Ukraine’s Starshield systems and President Donald Trump‘s declared energy ceasefire.
Following Trump’s announcement of an energy infrastructure ceasefire on Sunday, both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin quickly said the other side violated the fragile truce. Ukrainian defense forces fired off attacks on Russian oil refineries on Thursday, hitting Rosneft’s refinery in the city of Ryazan, while Ukrainian officials say Russia returned fire on Friday, hitting energy infrastructure and causing power outages across Ukraine.
