Russia and Ukraine accused each other of new infrastructure attacks, despite a 30-day ceasefire agreed by President Vladimir Putin. Kyiv reported heavy drone strikes, while Moscow claimed to have intercepted Ukrainian drones. The tensions follow a call between Putin and Donald Trump on the conflict.
Moscow and Kyiv traded accusations over infrastructure attacks on Wednesday, just a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed to a temporary halt on strikes targeting Ukrainian energy facilities.
Ukraine’s Air Force reported shooting down 72 out of 145 Russian drones launched across multiple regions, with strikes affecting Sumy, Odesa, Poltava, Dnipropetrovsk, Kyiv, and Chernihiv. A drone hit the roof of a hospital in Sumy’s Krasnopillia, while an infrastructure facility was damaged in Dnipropetrovsk’s Pavlohrad district.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned Russia’s continued attacks, stressing the need for sustained international pressure through sanctions, military aid, and security guarantees. He insisted that only a full halt to strikes on civilian infrastructure could bring peace closer.
Meanwhile, Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed its air defenses intercepted 57 Ukrainian drones over several regions, with additional interceptions over the Sea of Azov. In the Krasnodar region, an oil depot caught fire near Kavkazskaya.
These developments followed a call between Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump, where they discussed Ukraine, Middle East tensions, and U.S.- Russia ties.
During the conversation, Putin agreed to a limited ceasefire on energy and infrastructure, which Zelenskyy later supported.
