Zelensky blames allies after failing to stop Russian missile attack on Kyiv amid 'energy ceasefire'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticised Western allies after Russian ballistic missiles struck Kyiv without advance warning, hitting a key thermal power plant and a residential building. The attack reportedly killed two people and injured around 20 others, raising fresh concerns over civilian safety and Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Zelenskyy said Ukraine received no early warning from its partners and accused Moscow of disregarding the “energy ceasefire” announced by US President Donald Trump. However, the proposed truce remains disputed, with Russia yet to confirm a formal agreement. As Kyiv faces renewed attacks and uncertainty over intelligence support, questions are growing over the effectiveness of the ceasefire and the reliability of Western security assistance.
