Russia strikes power plant in Ukraine after Trump announces energy ceasefire

15 hours ago by MicroWave to c/world

A thermal power plant was struck at least twice, Ukrainian officials said.

Russia has attacked a power plant in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv despite Donald Trump’s statement earlier Sunday that both sides had agreed to an "energy ceasefire," according to Ukrainian officials.

A local official told ABC News the thermal power plant CHP-5 was struck at least twice, causing a fire. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a statement confirmed Russia had attacked the plant, as well as another in Kyiv, saying it had taken place after Trump's announcement.

Donald Trump is a Liar, Putin is his master, and both of these people deserve death.

when drumpf announced the ceasefire, he meant Ukraine was supposed to stop shooting, not russia.

And Trump had been right on the verge of getting that Nobel Peace Prize that he had his heart set on, too.

There are certainly a lot of ceasefires called, but not manyany actually upheld. I think he's just imagining the talks.

Oh, hes talking. The talks are revolving around what Putin expects to ensure that the dirt he has on Trump doesn't leak.

If the thermal power plant consumes fuel rather than produces it, what does it matter? The alleged reason for the dropping of sanctions is the shortage of fuel. If anything, that would just mean one less plant consuming fuel and a positive from Trump's perspective.

The USA consumes around 500000 tons of Diesel per day. Do you really think that the consumption of a single thermal plant would make any difference for US drivers?

You know what would make fuel prices become normal again? Getting the fuck out of Iran.

The whole thing makes no meaningful difference with regards to diesel, which is why I called it the "alleged reason." But even if you buy that reasoning, if they're targeting anything other their refineries or oil fields, it doesn't matter from the perspective of a made-up ceasefire intended to pretend to be doing something about making sure there is enough fuel for the US.

Trump probably announced the ceasefire in an attempt to curb a Russian strike. The Russian followed through regardless because Ukraine has been attacking Russian infrastructure for months.

Trump wants to manage his failing domestic reputation, buy is unable because he started an unwinnable war against Iran after arming Ukraine to the gills with drone weapons. These are all problems created by the US and NATO. Had they withheld weapons and avoided war, they would be in a much better situation.

You are completely delusional. Not one word of what you uttered has any basis in reality.

EvergreenGuru also blames a rape victim for "going into a parking lot at night", they're just an overall awful package.

Why do people keep making Putin and Russia spend all their money on missiles? If they would just give him what he wants, he could go back to sitting back while his political enemies drink polonium tea, throw themselves out of windows, and shoot themselves multiple times in the back of the head! But he can't because no one will just give him everything he wants!

Are you really this stupid?

EDIT: Reminder that they gave up nuclear weapons for security assurances from Russia.

    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
