What happened
Russia has continued attacks on Ukraine's energy grid and cities despite an energy ceasefire President Donald Trump announced, which Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says Ukraine has observed. Zelensky said Russia's latest missile strike was deliberate, and Moscow said the truce's scope is unclear. Twelve U.S. senators, six Democrats and six Republicans, have asked Trump to rescind a Russian diesel deal.
Why it matters
The dispute has widened a rift between the U.S. and Europe over how to end Russia's war on Ukraine. Zelensky said he feels betrayed by Trump's dealings with Russia.
