Trump's claim of energy truce in doubt as Russia hits Kyiv petrol station
A drone hit a petrol station in Ukraine's capital of Kyiv early on Tuesday, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said, just a day after US President Donald Trump said Ukraine and Russia had agreed not to target each other's energy assets. The attack “underlines the fact that it is not at all clearly defined what falls into the category of energy targets,” says France 24’s correspondent in Kyiv, Gulliver Cragg.

Editorial boundary
Still open: whether further independent sources confirm, correct or merely repeat the same development. The trust level describes the source trail, not absolute truth.
