Russia keeps striking civilian targets in Ukraine despite Trump's announced energy truce
Russia's army continues air strikes on civilian targets in Ukraine, even though US President Donald Trump announced a so-called energy truce. Serious damage has been reported in Kharkiv and Kyiv.
Russia's army continues to carry out air strikes on civilian targets in Ukraine, even though US President Donald Trump announced a so-called "energy truce". The report was published by LSM on 13 October 2026. Russia's invasion of Ukraine is ongoing, and attacks also hit cities far from the front line.
Damage in the cities
Serious damage has been caused in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, and in the capital, Kyiv. The source gives no further details on casualties or the specific sites hit, so such details are not yet confirmed.
Why it matters
The truce announced by Trump was meant as a step toward reducing attacks in the energy sector. The continued strikes indicate that the step has so far not stopped Russian air attacks on Ukrainian cities. The source does not say how Ukrainian, Russian or US officials have responded to the situation.
