Story summary

On Oct 11, US President Donald Trump announced an "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine, stating both sides had agreed to halt attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure. However, hours later, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Russian strikes hit multiple power plants in Ukraine, including one in Kyiv's capital and another in Kharkiv, leading to power outages across the country. Zelensky expressed surprise at Trump’s announcement and noted it was "news to him." Russia has yet to confirm its agreement to the ceasefire. The attacks came two days after Trump announced a temporary easing of US sanctions on Russian diesel fuel, a move that outraged Ukraine and its European allies.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
