Ukraine and Russia have continued to exchange strikes even as questions persist over the status of a reported "energy ceasefire" between the two sides, according to Ukrainian officials.
Ukraine's president said that Russian attacks on the country's energy infrastructure have continued despite the announcement of the truce, raising doubts about whether Moscow is honoring the arrangement.
Details about the scope and terms of the energy ceasefire remain unclear, and neither side has provided a full public accounting of the strikes reported since it was announced.
Energy infrastructure has been a recurring target in the conflict, with both the power grid and related facilities repeatedly damaged by strikes over the course of the war, affecting civilian access to electricity and heating.
The continuing exchange of strikes underscores the fragility of efforts to secure even limited de-escalation measures in the conflict, as diplomatic initiatives aimed at a broader resolution continue alongside ongoing military activity on the ground.
