    According to the Ukrainian President, Kyiv refrained from attacking Russian energy facilities for three days in an effort to comply with Washington’s request.

    Russia, however, continued striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure during that period and killed more than 100 civilians over the past week, Zelenskyy said.

      Zelensky never leaves any room for doubt that Trump and Putin can later twist to their own propaganda. That’s why he honored the “ceasefire”.
