Russia says overnight attack hit seven Ukrainian energy facilities and Kyiv data centre
Russia’s Defence Ministry said missiles and drones struck Ukrainian energy sites and a data centre, amid conflicting accounts of a proposed energy ceasefire.
Kyiv, Ukraine. Russia’s Defence Ministry reported on Wednesday that Russian forces had hit seven energy facilities across Ukraine and a Kyiv data centre during a large-scale overnight assault. The ministry said the targets supported Ukraine’s military.
Energy sites and data centre
The ministry’s account listed two plants producing heat and electricity in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital. In the surrounding Kyiv region, it reported striking another heat-and-power facility, a thermal generating plant and an electricity substation.
In Kharkiv, the ministry said its forces had struck a heat-and-power facility. It also reported hitting a thermal generating plant in the southeastern part of the Kharkiv region, which it said supplied Ukraine’s military.
The ministry said the Kyiv data centre was being used to collect intelligence about Russian armed forces. It described the weapons used in the assault as missiles launched from the ground and long-range attack drones.
Conflicting accounts of ceasefire contacts
On Sunday, US President Donald Trump said Russia and Ukraine had agreed to what he called an “energy ceasefire”.
Ukraine, however, said it had learned of the purported agreement through media reports. The Kremlin has said only that unspecified contacts concerning the matter remain under way.
