Russia strikes Ukraine’s energy infrastructure despite Trump’s announced energy truce

Situation Overview

Russia carried out strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on 13 October 2026, according to the reports, even after Donald Trump announced an energy truce.

The European Union and the French government are cited in the coverage as key actors in the political response. No specific market effects, company impacts, or quantified damage figures are reported in the cluster. The next concrete items mentioned are France’s preparation for new protests and the ongoing pattern of strikes on Ukraine’s energy sites.
