Volodymyr Zelensky said a Russian ballistic missile struck Kyiv’s CHP-4 power plant, criticising Western allies for failing to give advance warning. The attack came as Donald Trump claimed an energy ceasefire was in effect.
EeuronewsOriginal★★★★☆2026-10-14 02:47
Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv for a second day in a row, Ukrainian officials said, with no advance warning from Ukraine’s Western partners. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine detected the missiles only when they were nearing the city.
A Russian missile struck a power plant in Kyiv. Zelenskyy pointed to the absence of a warning from Western countries.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Tuesday that a Russian ballistic missile struck a power plant in Kyiv without advance warning from Western allies, killing at least two people and injuring about 20. The attack followed a US-announced energy ceasefire between Moscow and Kyiv by days, raising questions about efforts to stop strikes on critical infrastructure.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky said Western partners did not warn Kyiv before Russia’s ballistic missile attack on the evening of October 13. He said the strike focused on energy infrastructure and hit the CHP-4 plant; a residential building was damaged and caught fire. Citing Ukrainian intelligence, Zelensky said Russia was preparing more missile strikes. He also said Ukraine had received no warning before the previous day’s attack. Washington has not officially announced a halt to intelligence sharing.
Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv on Oct. 13, setting a nine-story residential building ablaze and killing one person while injuring four. Presidential adviser Dmytro Lytvyn said Ukraine had again received no advance warning from allies, while the Air Force said partners had not shared information about the launches.
Central Kyiv came under missile attack on Oct. 12, with explosions reported before an air raid alert sounded. Ukraine’s Air Force said Russia appeared to have fired ballistic missiles; President Volodymyr Zelensky said they hit civilian infrastructure and that partners had provided no advance warning. Separately, France’s navy intercepted and boarded the DF Peak, suspected of belonging to Russia’s shadow fleet, in the Indian Ocean.
Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine received no advance intelligence from Western partners before Russia fired five ballistic missiles at Kyiv on October 12. Ukrainian officials said similar failures to relay launch information had happened before, and cautioned against concluding that intelligence-sharing between Kyiv and Washington had stopped.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s partners gave no advance warning of a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv in which five missiles struck civilian infrastructure. He called Monday’s attack “particularly vile” and said intelligence from western allies is vital for warning people and saving lives. Ukraine’s foreign minister said the warning gap stemmed from a “special type” of Russian weapon.

Trump is facing mounting opposition within his own party over an agreement with Putin on Moscow’s diesel exports. The deal came just weeks after Trump signed a law authorizing tough sanctions on countries that buy Russian oil.
A dozen U.S. senators, including six Republicans, urged Donald Trump on Tuesday to rescind his diesel oil deal with Russia. They said it would give Moscow more fuel to finance its war on Ukraine and would not benefit Americans.
Donald Trump plans to allow Russian diesel purchases, prompting criticism at home and abroad. The agreement lets Moscow supply diesel to global markets; media reports say it responds to Kyiv’s failure to stop attacks on Russian refineries as Washington demanded. Volodymyr Zelenskyy called it a weak decision by strong partners. Experts link Trump’s pressure on Ukraine to the US midterms, urging Kyiv to keep engaging with Washington and consider working with European partners to block deliveries.
With Republicans facing the possibility of losing control of Congress in the Nov. 3 elections and high fuel costs fueling voter discontent, Trump called lower prices his “greatest priority.” He announced on social media on Oct. 9 that he had reached a deal with Putin for Russia to supply diesel to the US and global markets. US diesel prices have risen significantly, mainly because…
Diesel futures rose sharply Tuesday as doubts grew that the Trump administration’s recent steps to bring prices down would have much effect.
The diesel deal Donald Trump struck with Russia is smaller than two weeks of U.S. demand. Trump faces pressure to bring fuel prices down, with the U.S. midterm elections less than a month away.
This week’s letters challenge the Trump administration’s plan to buy Russian diesel as U.S. prices rise. One writer says the deal benefits Putin at Ukraine’s expense; a scholar argues a sanctions bill may not meaningfully pressure Moscow and warns it gives the president broad, weakly supervised tariff discretion.
After the diesel deal, the Kremlin ruler may test whether Trump is ready to ease further war-related sanctions.
