Zelensky accuses Russia of disrespecting Trump with energy strikes

Massive Russian strikes on Ukraine on Wednesday left some 600,000 people without power and deliberately flouted a purported "energy ceasefire" announced by Donald Trump, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

"A targeted Russian ballistic missile strike specifically against energy infrastructure –- the very infrastructure covered by the ceasefire announced by the American President," he wrote on X.

"The strike was entirely deliberate and demonstrative in its scale –- Russia has never before shown such ostentatious disrespect toward the United States.
