    "Australian Associated Press, carrying Reuters, reported that Russia has hit no Ukrainian energy targets for the first time since President Donald Trump of the United States announced an \"energy ceasefire\", while hammering cities' transport and logistics with ballistic missiles and drones. [E10]",
    "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia struck six Ukrainian energy facilities hours after that announcement. [E1][E12] On 12 October this paper recorded the Sunday post and Zelenskyy's account of a Kyiv power plant and Kharkiv thermal power station No 5 after it; the Monday count is six, and names for the other four have not been published.",
    "Despite Trump stating on Sunday the truce would be \"effective immediately\", Zelenskyy said Russia had hit \"our gas stations, energy infrastructure, and other facilities\". [E2]",
    "Zelenskyy said 33 people had been injured in the strikes on energy facilities across the country. [E3]",
    "The BBC reported Zelenskyy backs Trump's energy ceasefire. He told Fox News: \"We did not attack,\" and added: \"I think it was Putin's answer to President Trump.\" [E4][E5]",
    "RBC-Ukraine reported: \"Ukraine did not strike Russian oil refineries or the energy sector in general for two days after the US president announced a ceasefire in the energy sector. But Russia did not heed the US president.\" [E11]",
    "On X, Zelenskyy said the strikes were proof Russia was \"unwilling to accept an energy ceasefire\". [E6]",
    "Al Jazeera reported Zelenskyy told the Warsaw Security Forum: \"This energy ceasefire, it can work, and it can become a major step toward ending the war if the Americans truly step in now and make sure Russians respect it … If Russia does not agree to an energy ceasefire, we will respond.\" [E8] \"An energy ceasefire and other steps to reduce escalation and guarantee security are truly needed here in reality, not just on Truth Social,\" he added. [E9]",
    "On Monday evening, Kyiv's mayor Vitali Klitschko posted on Telegram that a drone hit a 25-story residential building in the Darnytskyi district. [E7]"
