Russia fired airstrikes in about a third of Ukraine’s regions on Friday, as the two countries continue to exchange attacks on energy infrastructure following a week of tensions over the slowdown of Ukraine’s Starshield systems and President Donald Trump‘s declared energy ceasefire.

Following Trump’s announcement of an energy infrastructure ceasefire on Sunday, both Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin quickly said the other side violated the fragile truce.
