A violation of a ceasefire by Russia would result in a response in less than 24 hours, according to the plan

The latest Russian attacks on Ukraine indicate the end of a brief energy ceasefire, under which Russian President Vladimir Putin had agreed to temporarily suspend strikes on Ukraine’s critical energy infrastructure.

The Ukrainian foreign minister, Andrii Sybiha, said the overnight Russian attack involved 450 drones and over 60 missiles, including ballistic ones, with the main targets being energy and residential houses in Kyiv, Dnipro, Kharkiv, Sumy and Odesa, alongside other regions. In a lengthy post on X, Sybiha wrote:

Putin waited for the temperatures to drop and stockpiled drones and missiles to continue his genocidal attacks against the Ukrainian people.

Neither anticipated diplomatic efforts in Abu Dhabi this week nor his promises to the United States kept him from continuing terror against ordinary people in the harshest winter.
