Zelenskyy Accuses Russia of Violating Trump-Brokered Winter Truce
On Tuesday, Ukraine’s president accused Russia of violating a supposed agreement with Donald Trump to halt attacks on energy infrastructure during freezing winter conditions. Despite temperatures plummeting and widespread power and heating outages affecting over a thousand residential buildings in Kyiv alone, Russia launched significant missile and drone strikes, which Ukraine stated were deliberate attempts to destroy vital infrastructure. This escalation occurred just as Ukraine’s president questioned Russia’s sincerity regarding peace talks and called for increased Western support for air defense systems.
