On 12 October, Ukraine’s Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky said Russian troops attacked oil and gas and other energy facilities across several regions overnight. Koretsky also reported overnight strikes on residential areas, including damage to seven private houses in Izyum, strikes on Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, and a Russian drone impact on a nine-storey building in Kharkiv; he said 22 casualties were known as of the time of his statement, including two children. He added that Russia also struck storage facilities, logistics companies, shopping centres, railway infrastructure, gas stations, and agricultural farms. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had not heard confirmation that Russia agreed to an energy truce, and expressed hope that U.S. President Donald Trump could persuade Vladimir Putin to support the proposal.
