Russian strikes hit Ukrainian power plants on October 11 despite US President Donald Trump's earlier announcement of an energy ceasefire. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that a drone attack on Kyiv's power plant led to outages, followed by another strike on the Kharkiv CHP-5 power plant. Meanwhile, fresh Houthi strikes hit Riyadh’s international airport, escalating tensions in Yemen where the group continues threatening further attacks against Saudi transit hubs.

Story summary
On Sunday, U.S. President Donald Trump announced an immediate “energy ceasefire” between Russia and Ukraine via Truth Social without providing specific details. This declaration came amid rising diesel prices, which have surged to $6.28 per gallon nationally, attributed partly to Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries that have reportedly disabled over half of Russia’s refining capacity.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated he had not been consulted about the deal and called it “news to me.” He added that Ukraine would support such an agreement if Russia reciprocates by halting attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. Zelenskyy emphasized the need for "real guarantees" from international allies, including punitive measures against Moscow.
Despite Trump's announcement, Russian forces continued their strikes on Ukrainian targets, and Ukraine maintained its readiness to stop long-range attacks if mutual agreements were met. Diesel prices have risen due to ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Iran impacting global supplies. Trump faces pressure to lower fuel costs ahead of the November midterm elections. Zelenskyy also discussed the proposed ceasefire with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, and Finnish President Alex Stubb.
