Russia just broke Trump's energy ceasefire and Ukraine is hitting back

Russia just hit Ukraine's energy grid 76 times in a week.

And that week started with Donald Trump announcing a ceasefire.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine's President, gave the number a few hours ago. 76 attacks on energy, oil and gas sites. Nearly 2,700 attack drones. 1,700 guided bombs. 66 missiles. All in seven days.

Overnight, strikes on homes killed two people and wounded 12. Two of them were children.

So what was this ceasefire supposed to do?

Donald Trump announced it on 11 October. Russia and Ukraine were meant to stop hitting each other's energy infrastructure. Russia kept going anyway, according to Ukraine. Ukraine held up its end for three days, pausing strikes on Russian oil refineries at Washington's request.

That pause ended three days ago.

Ukraine hit the Ryazan refinery inside Russia. Zelenskyy told the Financial Times that the block on attacking refineries was over, and that Ukraine was done holding back.

So the ceasefire is done too. Both sides have now broken it.

Overnight, Ukraine launched more than 1,000 drones across Russia. One of the biggest aerial attacks of the entire war.

Fires broke out at the St Petersburg Oil Terminal and the Ruchyi oil depot. Alexander Beglov, the governor of St Petersburg, says one person was killed, five were wounded, and 12 apartment buildings and two houses were damaged.

Russia's Defence Ministry says it shot down 1,015 Ukrainian drones over 15 regions, Crimea and the Black Sea.

And Russia hit back inside Ukraine the same night. Substations in Vinnytsia, Zhytomyr, Khmelnytskyi and Odesa were hit. Tens of thousands of families lost power. A strike on Zaporizhzhia killed one woman and wounded at least two people, including a six-year-old girl.
