Trump hailed an energy truce, so Russia hit six power plants

Original version ·

Remember that supposed diplomatic breakthrough where everyone agreed to stop blowing up the power grid? Moscow clearly had a very different interpretation.

Over the weekend, Trump casually announced that an energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia was officially taking effect. Zelenskyy admitted nobody had actually run that agreement by him, but shrugged and basically said: fine, if they stop hitting our transformers, we will hold our fire too.

The reply arrived within hours. Russia pounded six Ukrainian energy facilities in a single day, injuring dozens of people across the country.

Negotiating a gentlemen's agreement with someone who is actively loading ballistic missiles onto launchers remains an acquired taste.

Grand declarations on social media are convenient, but burning transformers tend to tell the real story.
