Украйны эрчим хүчний байгууламжууд ОХУ-ын дайралтад өртсөн нь АНУ-ын ерөнхийлөгчийн зарласан харилцан тохиролцоог зөрчиж байна гэж Ерөнхийлөгч Володимир Зеленский мэдэгдлээ.
Ням гарагт АНУ-ын ерөнхийлөгч ОХУ болон Украйн улсууд эрчим хүчний дэд бүтцээ харилцан бөмбөгдөхгүй байх “эрчим хүчний түр эвлэрэл”-д хүрсэн талаар мэдэгдсэн билээ. Гэвч үүний дараахан Киевийн цахилгаан станц дроны цохилтод өртөж, улмаар нийслэлийн зарим хэсэгт цахилгаан тасарчээ. Мөн Харков хотын цахилгаан станц руу дайралт болсныг В.Зеленский онцлоод, Украйны тэнгэрт Ираны үйлдвэрлэлийн “Shahed” дронууд өдөржин нисэж байсныг дурдсан байна.
Ням гарагт ОХУ-ын хийсэн дайралтын улмаас Харков болон баруун Украйны бүс нутагт нийт зургаан хүн амь үрэгдэж, олон арван хүн шархадсаны дотор хүүхдүүд байгааг албаны эх сурвалжууд мэдээлэв. В.Зеленский уг тохиролцооны талаар урьдчилж мэдээгүй байснаа илэрхийлээд, Украйн улс ОХУ-ын эрчим хүчний байгууламж руу цохилт өгөхгүй байхад бэлэн гэдгээ мэдэгдлээ. Европын холбооны Гадаад хэргийн дээд төлөөлөгч Кая Каллас уг түр эвлэрлийг дэмжиж байгаа ч ОХУ үүнийг баримтлах эсэх нь эргэлзээтэй байгааг онцолсон байна.
Ажиглагчдын үзэж буйгаар, АНУ-ын засаг захиргаа ОХУ-ын эрчим хүчний дэд бүтэц рүү гүн цохилт өгөхөө зогсоохыг Киевийг шахахын тулд зэвсэг нийлүүлэлтийн тогтолцоогоо зогсооно хэмээн сүрдүүлж байгаа аж. Үүний зэрэгцээ, АНУ ОХУ-ын дизель түлшийг худалдан авах хэлэлцээрийг зөвшөөрч, хориг арга хэмжээгээ түр сулруулсан нь Украйн болон Европын холбооны орнуудын зүгээс хүчтэй эсэргүүцэлтэй тулгараад байна. Олон улсын зах зээл дээр ОХУ-ын нийлүүлэлт нэмэгдэх хүлээлт үүссэнтэй холбоотойгоор даваа гарагт газрын тосны үнэ буурчээ.

Ukraine says Russia violated Trump’s ‘energy ceasefire’
We are restarting our live coverage of the latest developments in Europe after Donald Trump’s announcement of what he called an energy ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war.
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said on Sunday evening that Russian strikes hit Ukrainian energy facilities despite the US president having claimed both sides had agreed to stop hitting each other’s energy infrastructure.
In a post on X, Zelenskyy said a drone had hit a Kyiv power plant on Sunday, leading to power outages in the Ukrainian capital. Shortly after, he said there had been a strike on a power plant in the north-eastern city of Kharkiv, adding: “Ukrainian skies have been infested with Russian ‘shaheds’ all day”, referring to a type of Iranian-made drone commonly used in the conflict.
Meanwhile, Russian attacks killed six people in two Ukrainian cities on Sunday, including a strike on a grocery store in Kharkiv, where three people died and 20 were injured, Ukrainian officials said. Two children were among the injured, the regional governor said. In western Ukraine, a Russian strike killed three people, officials said.
On Sunday morning Trump had announced that “effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine”. “Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!” he wrote on his Truth Social platform, without further details.
Zelenskyy expressed surprise at the announcement, saying the deal was “news to me”, while Russia has not yet confirmed its agreement. He said on Telegram yesterday: “Ukraine is ready to refrain from striking Russian energy infrastructure – and we count on the same readiness from Russia.”
The EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said this morning that the bloc would welcome a truce but only “when it holds”. “We haven’t yet seen that also Russia will stick to it,” Kallas said at a meeting of EU foreign ministers.

Ukraine’s European allies pledged to increase pressure on Moscow in the wake of Trump’s Russian diesel announcement, with Canadian prime minister Mark Carney adding to the chorus on Sunday after a call with Zelenskyy, saying the diesel deal “is in direct opposition to the efforts of Ukraine, Canada and our allies to create peace and stability in Europe”. Germany foreign minister Johann Wadephul said Berlin continued to “fully support” Zelenskyy. EU chief Ursula von der Leyen also backed Ukraine’s president “as he leads the fight for his people’s freedom”.
-
Trump earlier swiped at Zelenskyy when asked about criticism of the Russia diesel deal, saying it was “time for Ukraine to get a new president” who would finally settle the war. Zelenskyy pushed back, telling US ABC News: “First of all, with all respect to President Trump, it’s up to our society, up to our people to choose one or another leader.”
