Russia intensifies strikes on Ukraine power grid despite US-brokered energy ceasefire

Russian missile and drone strikes continue to systematically target Ukrainian power plants in Kyiv and Kharkiv, causing rolling blackouts and water outages, despite Trump's declared 'energy ceasefire'. The pattern matches an intercepted Russian blueprint to make life unlivable in major cities, indicating Moscow has abandoned hopes of military victory and is pursuing a strategy of attrition against civilian infrastructure. The ceasefire's collapse is unconfirmed but implied by continued strikes.
