With 600,000 Ukrainians without electricity, Zelensky asks Trump to sanction Russia

A Russian attack from October 13 to 14, 2026, left at least 600,000 Ukrainians without electricity, damaging around thirty energy, oil, and gas facilities with 39 missiles and 128 drones. Zelensky urged Trump to impose stronger sanctions on Russia, including legislation proposed by Senator Lindsey Graham, and to supply additional Patriot missile interceptors. Trump had announced a ceasefire on energy targets on October 11, but Russia launched new attacks on Ukrainian energy sites three days later. Kyiv continues to demand sanctions against Moscow, while Washington seeks to control fuel prices.
