# Ukraine reports Russian energy strikes after Trump's ceasefire announcement

Date: 2026

On 12 October 2026, [President Volodymyr Zelenskyy](/people/volodymyr-zelenskyy) said Russian forces had continued striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure after [President Donald Trump](/people/mig-donald-trump) announced an energy ceasefire. Naftogaz reported an overnight attack on gas-production infrastructure in the Kharkiv region, and Zelenskyy said several energy facilities had been hit. Ukraine said it was willing to stop attacks on Russian refineries if Russia reciprocated. The Kremlin said contacts over a possible energy ceasefire were continuing. The event is evidence that Trump's public announcement did not immediately stop attacks on Ukrainian energy sites.
