Details: Sybiha said that he had spoken to his German counterpart Johann Wadephul.

Quote: "I informed Johann about Russia's strike on Kharkiv's CHP-5 plant a few hours ago. Russia violated the energy ceasefire immediately after it was announced.

I reaffirmed Ukraine's readiness for a full energy ceasefire if Russia stops attacking our energy infrastructure."

Background:

• On 11 October, US President Donald Trump claimed that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to an immediate energy ceasefire.
• Barak Ravid, a journalist at American news portal Axios, stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had been unaware of the "energy ceasefire" between Ukraine and Russia announced by Trump, but is willing to agree to it.
• Zelenskyy later said that, following Trump's statement, the Russians had struck CHPP-5 (a combined heat and power plant) in Kharkiv and a power station in Kyiv.
• Russia has yet to comment on Trump's statement.
