Ukraine resumes energy strikes as Trump's ceasefire demand collapses amid Russia's continued attacks

Ukraine has resumed strikes targeting Russian energy infrastructure after President Trump demanded an "energy ceasefire" between the two nations on Sunday, according to PBS NewsHour. Russia has not halted its own attacks on Ukrainian energy targets during this period. The resumption of Ukrainian strikes reflects deteriorating relations between Zelenskyy and Trump, marking what the source characterizes as a "new low point" in their alliance.
