Zelensky says Russian attacks hit the main power plant in Kyiv

Ukraine's president says ballistic missile strikes were carried out without "early warning from our partners"

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said that a key energy facility supplying heating and electricity to Kiev was hit by a Russian ballistic missile attack.

Darnitska CHP-4, or CHPP-4, and a residential building were hit in the strike, which the president said was carried out "without prior warning from our partners."

Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said one person was killed and 13 wounded in a rocket attack on an apartment block late Tuesday. He said: The situation of four people is serious.

It comes two days after US President Donald Trump announced that an energy ceasefire had been agreed between Russia and Ukraine, although Kiev reported multiple Russian attacks following the announcement.

"Ukraine supported the energy ceasefire," Zelenskyy said on social media after Tuesday's attacks. "Russia is targeting another power plant and the lives of our people."

"It's completely unfair: when they destroy our energy infrastructure and Ukraine doesn't even get early warnings about ballistic missile launches," he added.

It is important that the world is not silent about this.

This is the second night in a row that Kiev has been hit by Russian missiles.

After Monday night's strikes, there was speculation that the US had cut off access to key information that would have enabled Ukraine to track incoming threats.

Earlier on Tuesday, Trump denied this.

"We help them and share information," he said.

We want the war to end. So we work with them and Russia to end the war.

In response to a question about Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy sites, Trump said: Ukraine attacked many sites the other day.

But when asked if Russia had violated the ceasefire, he hesitated. He said both countries want the war "to end" but "just don't know how to get there".

It comes after Zelensky said on Sunday that a 60-day ceasefire would allow his country to hold presidential elections, after Trump said it was "time for Ukraine to elect a new president".

After Trump's announcement on Sunday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Ukraine did not deserve a "respite" from the ceasefire.

Lavrov added that in case of any ceasefire, Europe would be able to "pump Ukraine with new weapons" to continue the war.

CHPP-4, which supplies heating and electricity to the Dnipro region and parts of the Darnitsky region, was hit several times during the war.

It was badly damaged in a separate Russian missile attack in February this year, forcing it to shut down.
