Shortly after the surprising announcement by American President Donald Trump that attacks on energy facilities in the Ukraine war would be immediately stopped, Kyiv accused Moscow of violating the ceasefire. The Russian military reportedly hit a heating power plant hard. The Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andri Sibiha accused the Kremlin of a clear violation of the limited fire pause. This was set to come into force immediately according to Trump's announcement on Sunday afternoon (MSK) and apply to both warring parties. In the Russian border region of Belgorod, a person was killed by a Ukrainian drone attack on Sunday, according to the Reuters news agency citing authorities. According to the regional operational headquarters, the drone hit a car on a road near the border. The Belgorod region is frequently the target of Ukrainian attacks. In the part of eastern Ukraine controlled by Russian forces in Donetsk, authorities appointed by Moscow reported a death following a Ukrainian attack. The four airports of the Russian capital Moscow temporarily suspended flight operations in the evening due to the entry of Ukrainian drones. All landings and take-offs were canceled for a short time at the airports, reported the state agency Tass. At least 25 attacking machines were diverted to other airfields during this time. The alarm was lifted at all airports late in the evening. According to the mayor of Moscow Sergej Sobjanin, at least 23 Ukrainian drones were shot down on their way to the Russian metropolis before the city limits. However, he did not provide information on whether the drones had overcome air defense or caused damage. According to the words of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Russian military attacked and damaged a heating power plant in the large city of Kharkiv in the east of the country. However, Zelenskyy left open whether the attack occurred before or after the truce on energy facilities announced by US President Donald Trump. According to local authorities, the attack with drones and cruise missiles injured six people, including a child. Following the replacement of the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy demanded by US President Donald Trump, he reacted with a counter-offer. If Trump could convince Russian President Vladimir Putin to a 60-day, complete ceasefire, then Ukraine would have time to organize new elections, said Zelenskyy in an interview with the American broadcaster ABC. His citizens must be guaranteed safety during the election. American President Donald Trump has repeatedly declared that Ukraine and Russia will refrain from attacks on the energy sector of the other warring party in the future. The partial ceasefire was effective immediately, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. "Both sides have agreed. Please abide by it!" Confirmations from Russia and Ukraine for the agreement were not initially available. Trump had made a similar statement in mid-September. However, both sides continued their attacks afterward. Following a fierce Russian attack on Zaporizhzhia, the number of dead rose to 23. The rescue work after the Saturday attack was completed, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported on social media. Among the dead were four minors. "The real reason for the war in Europe is Russia, Russia alone," Zelenskyy wrote. Ukraine is ready to stop attacks on Russian refineries if Russia no longer attacks Ukrainian energy facilities, he repeated, and accused Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin of not wanting to do so. Russia attacked a medical facility, civilian infrastructure, residential buildings, and energy infrastructure in Kharkiv in the evening on Saturday and night. A residential building was hit in Sloviansk in the morning. People could still be under the rubble. Russia used around 1450 cruise missiles, 75 rockets and ballistic missiles, as well as more than 1640 drones, most of which were jet-powered, in this week alone. The Ukrainian government rejects the demand of US President Donald Trump for a new president. Foreign Minister Andri Sibiha wrote in the evening on the X platform that Zelenskyy enjoys the support of the Ukrainian people and this people has the right to decide for themselves. "Statements from abroad only confirm that he is doing his job well. He deserves support." Russia also shelled the Ukrainian capital Kyiv in the evening. Mayor Vitali Klitschko wrote on the Telegram platform that there are already eight injured, including a 15-year-old. Trump had demanded a new president for Ukraine on Saturday and claimed that Zelenskyy had had many opportunities to end the Ukraine war and chose not to. "I believe it is time for Ukraine to get a new president." The Ukrainians should seek a new leader who can make an agreement to end the war. Because despite many possibilities, Zelenskyy "never did it for some reason." However, the war did not begin with Ukraine, but with Russia, which invaded the neighboring country more than four and a half years ago. Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin has repeatedly rejected offers for an unconditional ceasefire. Later diplomatic initiatives also failed.
