Summary

Hours after Trump and Putin agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure, Russia launched drone and missile strikes on Ukraine, damaging homes and injuring civilians.

A hospital in Sumy was hit, forcing evacuations. Ukraine also struck a Russian oil depot. Putin rejected a full ceasefire, demanding an end to Western military aid to Ukraine.

Trump praised the call as "productive," while Zelenskyy awaited U.S. clarification before responding.

Talks on a broader ceasefire will begin Sunday in Jeddah, but skepticism remains over Russia’s commitment to peace.

Putin agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure

They technically didnt violate the terms i guess, but this is not what was intended i believe.

I mean they didnt write that in the article from this post that was published 3 hours ago. I assumed it would be up to date, so thanks for the correction. I guess the guardian is just outdated or intentionally misleading then.

technically it was also not a "violation of ceasefire" because putin said any ceasefire can only happen only after all western military aid and intelligence sharing are stopped. all, not just american. clown shit

I think there is talk of Russia striking energy infrastructure?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

apparently wrong, see other comments

Nah it says this in the article:

A Kremlin statement said Putin had issued an order to the Russian military to suspend strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

I know they arent trustworthy, but if Russia had violated the terms, then the headline would read

Russia violates terms hours after partial ceasefire...

and not

Russia attacks...

Skepticism rises as to whether the aggressor who could have peace by leaving the invaded country alone actually wants peace. It’s a total mystery.

theres no world where trump and/or putin is in power where there is peace for a sovereign ukraine.

they have to go.

Look what they did to my boy.

Geez, Israel just wipes their ass with cease fire agreements, Russia just wipes their ass with cease fires...

They must have something in common

Putin has now reached a level of Skaven where's making ceasefire deals just so he can break. There hasn't been enough betrayal for his liking yet, so he must manufacture some. Unhinged behavior.
