12.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Russia Broke Trump's Energy Truce
⌨

Overnight clarification narrowed Trump's announcement to refineries only, and Zelensky said Russia kept hitting power plants and Kharkiv housing hours afterward. He said Ukraine held its fire overnight but would resume refinery strikes unless Russia stopped attacks on its grid, offering Washington written guarantees.

Washington pressure built around the parallel diesel arrangement, which senators from both parties called illegal and a financial lifeline for Putin, while reports described threats to cut intelligence and arms and menacing calls to Ukrainian commanders.

Strikes dominated front pages: a morning drone destroyed upper floors in Kharkiv injuring 12, a drone killed a woman in a 25-storey Kyiv tower injuring 11, and an evening hit collapsed an entrance of a five-storey block in Kharkiv with people under rubble.
