Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told Russian state news agency Tass that Kyiv was \u201cresisting\u201d Moscow\u2019s invasion but could not \u201cchange the current course of events.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in Ukraine, a woman was killed and a 6-year-old girl was among at least two other people wounded in two Russian attacks on the southern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, local officials said Sunday.<\/p>\n
Trump announced Oct. 11 that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an \u201cenergy cease-fire\u201d in the 4\u00bd-year-old war, but offered no details. Kyiv reported Russian attacks on energy sites continued after Trump\u2019s announcement, and on Thursday said it had resumed strikes on Russian oil facilities after a three-day pause.<\/p>\n
President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on X Sunday that Russia had attacked Ukraine\u2019s energy, oil, and gas sectors 76 times in the week since Trump\u2019s announcement. The Ukrainian government initially said it was observing the cease-fire.<\/p>\n
Energy facilities in four Ukrainian regions were struck overnight, leaving tens of thousands of families without power, he said, accusing Russia of trying to cause a blackout.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmerica should see that Russia is not taking any reciprocal steps in response to sanctions relief or agreements. On the contrary, they take every signal of an opportunity to make money as proof that their bet on war is paying off and they can keep fighting,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
Zelensky also stressed that the war was continuing because of Russia\u2019s invasion, not Ukraine\u2019s efforts to defend itself. \u201cIt is Russia that must face pressure for peace to have a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ukraine\u2019s Foreign Ministry apologized Sunday after a drone entered Lithuania\u2019s airspace, prompting authorities to issue an air raid warning.<\/p>\n

Lithuanian authorities urged residents in two northern counties along the Latvian border to take cover early Sunday because of a possible drone incursion, public broadcaster LRT reported.<\/p>\n
