German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky see Russia as responsible for agreeing to a ceasefire for the entire energy infrastructure. This was reported by the spokesman of the German government, Stefan Kornelius, after a phone call with the two heads of government. Zelensky informed the Chancellor about the massive Russian air attacks on civilian targets and the Ukrainian energy infrastructure last weekend. Merz affirmed Germany's solidarity, explained Kornelius. Zelensky also confirmed talks with other foreign top politicians, including NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and the Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. "Everyone has a completely clear position: Ukraine must be supported and Russia must not be given any chance to break Ukraine and Europe," Zelensky said in a video message. Russia has not confirmed the ceasefire for mutual attacks on energy facilities in the Ukraine war announced by American President Donald Trump. The Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov said that contacts with the American side continued. He said that the Kremlin will inform about any results. On Sunday, Trump had announced a ceasefire for attacks on energy infrastructure. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was surprised but emphasized his willingness to it. Moscow repeatedly rejects ceasefires with the statement that it seeks a lasting solution to the conflict. The European Union imposes new sanctions against a record number of supporters of the Russian war machine. The EU foreign ministers decided to impose penalties on nearly 1600 persons, companies, and other organizations, as the EU foreign representative Kaja Kallas reported. Those affected by the sanctions are actors involved in the production of ballistic missiles. In addition, this includes drone manufacturers and shipyards that maintain submarines. The penalties include freezing assets and prohibiting the provision of money or other economic resources. Travel bans to the EU are also imposed on individuals. 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 had hit a thermal power plant hard. The Ukrainian foreign minister Andriy Sibiha accused the Kremlin of a clear violation of the limited truce. This should come into force immediately and apply to both warring parties, according to Trump's announcement on Sunday afternoon (MSK time). In the Russian border region of Belgorod, one person was killed in a Ukrainian drone attack on Sunday, according to the news agency Reuters 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, the authorities appointed by Moscow reported a death after a Ukrainian attack. The four airports of the Russian capital Moscow temporarily suspended flight operations due to incoming Ukrainian drones in the evening. All landings and take-offs were canceled for a short time at the airports, reported the State Agency TASS. At this time, at least 25 incoming aircraft were redirected to other airfields. The alarm was lifted at all airports late in the evening. According to the mayor of Moscow Sergei 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 Zelensky, the Russian military attacked and damaged a thermal power plant in the large city of Kharkiv in the east of the country. However, Zelensky left open whether the attack occurred before or after the ceasefire for attacks 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. After Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded the abdication of American President Donald Trump, he responded with a counter-offer. If Trump can persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin to a 60-day complete ceasefire, then Ukraine will have time to organize new elections, Zelensky said in an interview with the American station ABC. Security must be guaranteed to his citizens 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, wrote Trump 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, but both sides continued their attacks thereafter.
