Kyiv, Oct 14 (V7N)- US President Donald Trump has confirmed that Washington continues to share intelligence with Ukraine, as Kyiv accused Russia of violating a proposed energy-sector ceasefire by launching fresh missile strikes on the Ukrainian capital.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday that Russian forces had attacked Kyiv with ballistic missiles, targeting a thermal power plant.

Kyiv Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said two people were killed when a high-rise residential building was struck during the attack.

“Once again, there was no advance warning from our partners,” Zelensky wrote in a message on Telegram, expressing concern over the absence of the usual advance notification. He did not explain why the warning had not been provided this time.

Zelensky also said Ukrainian intelligence indicated that Russia was preparing to launch additional ballistic missiles. He argued that the latest strikes showed Moscow was not respecting the energy-sector ceasefire announced by Trump.

Trump announced the proposed ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine on Sunday. However, neither side had officially confirmed the arrangement, according to the information available in the report.

Meanwhile, Trump has been pressing Zelensky to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries. His administration has also eased restrictions on Russian diesel exports, a move the US president said could help lower fuel prices ahead of next month’s midterm elections.

Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Trump said the United States was continuing to assist Ukraine while working with both Kyiv and Moscow to end the war.

“We are assisting them and sharing intelligence,” he said.

Ukraine relies heavily on US intelligence for advance warnings of incoming missile strikes and for identifying Russian military targets, experts and officials have said.

Asked whether Russia had violated the ceasefire, Trump declined to give an immediate assessment, saying, “I’ll tell you about that later.”

He also avoided directly addressing whether revenue from Russian diesel exports could be used to purchase additional weapons.

“This is a diesel deal, not for us. It’s being delivered to the world market, not to us,” Trump said.
