Russia and Ukraine Exchange Accusations of Infrastructure Attacks Following Putin-Trump Call

Tensions escalate as Russia and Ukraine exchange accusations of air attacks mere hours after their leaders discussed a limited ceasefire focused on energy infrastructure. President Vladimir Putin agreed to halt attacks temporarily, but rejected a full 30-day ceasefire proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged global intervention against Russia’s ongoing assaults on civilian targets, highlighting significant damage caused by over 40 drones. The Ukrainian military reported shooting down 72 out of 145 drones in the latest bombardments, affecting multiple regions. In a retaliatory strike, Ukrainian forces reportedly damaged an oil depot in Russia, complicating the already volatile situation. With aviation alerts issued across Russian airports, the conflict shows no signs of abating.
