Von der Leyen says Russia "did not respect" energy truce "not a single minute"

At a Friday summit in Brussels with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the European Union had supported a truce backed by U.S. President Donald Trump that focused on energy infrastructure. She said Russia ignored it from the start and had intensified its strikes. She also said the bloc would impose a 22nd set of sanctions and keep existing measures in place until Russia stops the war. Zelenskyy was seeking about €70 billion more from the EU for Ukraine’s defense next year. Earlier, Trump criticized Ukraine’s latest attacks on Russian oil facilities.
