Russia has attacked a power plant in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv despite Donald Trump’s statement earlier Sunday that both sides had agreed to an "energy ceasefire," according to Ukrainian officials.

A local official told ABC News the thermal power plant CHP-5 was struck at least twice, causing a fire. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a statement confirmed Russia had attacked the plant, as well as another in Kyiv, saying it had taken place after Trump's announcement.

    when drumpf announced the ceasefire, he meant Ukraine was supposed to stop shooting, not russia.

    And Trump had been right on the verge of getting that Nobel Peace Prize that he had his heart set on, too.

    I'm just glad he ended this war within 24 hours of taking office, like he said. Trum is actually a big anti-war guy.

    There are certainly a lot of ceasefires called, but not manyany actually upheld. I think he's just imagining the talks.

    They were indexing bots, not troll farm bots. Because Yandex is a search engine.

    Jesus, the amount of bullshit around this is astounding.

    And a cloud provider that hosts things. That's like saying 'because Amazon is an online bookseller', or 'because Google is a search engine', when both have significant lines of business (in Amazon's case, bigger than their original business) hosting things for others.

    In Yandex's case, some of those will be military stuff, some will be troll farms, and some will be running things for Russian businesses.

    If the thermal power plant consumes fuel rather than produces it, what does it matter? The alleged reason for the dropping of sanctions is the shortage of fuel. If anything, that would just mean one less plant consuming fuel and a positive from Trump's perspective.

    The USA consumes around 500000 tons of Diesel per day. Do you really think that the consumption of a single thermal plant would make any difference for US drivers?

    You know what would make fuel prices become normal again? Getting the fuck out of Iran.

    The whole thing makes no meaningful difference with regards to diesel, which is why I called it the "alleged reason." But even if you buy that reasoning, if they're targeting anything other their refineries or oil fields, it doesn't matter from the perspective of a made-up ceasefire intended to pretend to be doing something about making sure there is enough fuel for the US.

    Trump probably announced the ceasefire in an attempt to curb a Russian strike. The Russians followed through regardless because Ukraine has been attacking Russian infrastructure for months.

    Trump wants to manage his failing domestic reputation, buy is unable because he started an unwinnable war against Iran after arming Ukraine to the gills with drone weapons. These are all problems created by the US and NATO. Had they withheld weapons and avoided war, they would be in a much better situation.

    Edit. I forgot the bot farms love the Ukraine war and want to waste money and bombs spiking fuel prices by extending a lost war. It’s shameful that the Ukrainians have been used as proxy to wage war against Russia.

    Why do people keep making Putin and Russia spend all their money on missiles? If they would just give him what he wants, he could go back to sitting back while his political enemies drink polonium tea, throw themselves out of windows, and shoot themselves multiple times in the back of the head! But he can't because no one will just give him everything he wants!
