Ukraine has blamed previous such attacks on Russia, accusing Moscow of seeking to choke off Kyiv\u2019s vital maritime export route. More.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ukraine under fire:<\/strong> There is little sign of the surprise energy truce announced on Sunday by US President Donald Trump taking hold, as Russia continues to pound Ukraine&#8217;s energy infrastructure and residential buildings, our Ukraine correspondent <strong>Sasha Vakulina<\/strong> reports.<\/p>\n<p>Moscow has not confirmed it has agreed to halt strikes on energy facilities, while Kyiv says it was not consulted and only learned of the truce deal through the media. On Monday, President <strong>Volodymyr Zelenskyy<\/strong> said Russian forces had attacked six energy facilities across Ukraine that day alone.<\/p>\n<p>Zelenskyy also reiterated that Ukraine is ready for an energy ceasefire, but that Russia must take steps towards &#8220;calm&#8221;. &#8220;America certainly has the strength and the means to ensure &#8216;silence&#8217; &#8211; a genuine, reliable de-escalation and a genuine, reliable halt to Russia&#8217;s actions,&#8221; Zelenskyy said in his evening address on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>In a development likely to unsettle Kyiv and European capitals, US media report that American officials floated the possibility of cutting off Kyiv\u2019s access to US intelligence \u2013 critical for locating Russian missile launchers \u2013 and of suspending weapons deliveries through the NATO procurement scheme known as PURL during weekend talks in Miami.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blindsided, yet again:<\/strong> Amid the mounting pressure on Zelenskyy, Europe is putting on a brave face and rallying behind Ukraine as it digests the implications of the Trump-Putin diesel deal agreed over the weekend, our correspondent <strong>Jorge Liboreiro<\/strong> writes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we need to be collectively serious. Today, I believe, we have no factual reason to change our position,\u201d French President Emmanuel Macron said. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said emulating the energy deal was \u201cout of the question\u201d for Europe, despite rising prices. \u201cRussia will only negotiate seriously under pressure, and that is why we are sticking to our sanctions against Russia,\u201d Merz said.<\/p>\n<p>A similar message of resolve echoed through Luxembourg as EU foreign ministers met and insisted that the pressure campaign on Moscow would continue unabated. Their decision to add 1,600 people and entities to the sanctions list did nothing but accentuate the awkward EU-US split screen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But not giving up:<\/strong> In Brussels, Jorge challenged the European Commission to say where it draws the red line when it comes to Trump\u2019s unilateral decisions. \u201cWe will continue to engage with our partners and also with the US in bringing this war to a close,&#8221; the Commission\u2019s chief spokesperson replied.

Good news: you can now also read Europe Today every morning in French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.But first, some breaking news: Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev has said that two more ships have been hit by drones in the Black Sea, one of which sank. Ukraine has blamed previous such attacks on Russia, accusing Moscow of seeking to choke off Kyiv\u2019s vital maritime export route. More.Ukraine under fire: There is little sign of the surprise energy truce announced on Sunday by US President Donald Trump taking hold, as Russia continues to pound Ukraine&#8217;s energy infrastructure and residential buildings, our Ukraine correspondent Sasha Vakulina reports.Moscow has not confirmed it has agreed to halt strikes on energy facilities, while Kyiv says it was not consulted and only learned of the truce deal through the media. On Monday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian forces had attacked six energy facilities across Ukraine that day alone.Zelenskyy also reiterated that Ukraine is ready for an energy ceasefire, but that Russia must take steps towards &#8220;calm&#8221;. &#8220;America certainly has the strength and the means to ensure &#8216;silence&#8217; &#8211; a genuine, reliable de-escalation and a genuine, reliable halt to Russia&#8217;s actions,&#8221; Zelenskyy said in his evening address on Monday.In a development likely to unsettle Kyiv and European capitals, US media report that American officials floated the possibility of cutting off Kyiv\u2019s access to US intelligence \u2013 critical for locating Russian missile launchers \u2013 and of suspending weapons deliveries through the NATO procurement scheme known as PURL during weekend talks in Miami.Blindsided, yet again: Amid the mounting pressure on Zelenskyy, Europe is putting on a brave face and rallying behind Ukraine as it digests the implications of the Trump-Putin diesel deal agreed over the weekend, our correspondent Jorge Liboreiro writes.\u201cI think we need to be collectively serious. Today, I believe, we have no factual reason to change our position,\u201d French President Emmanuel Macron said. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said emulating the energy deal was \u201cout of the question\u201d for Europe, despite rising prices. \u201cRussia will only negotiate seriously under pressure, and that is why we are sticking to our sanctions against Russia,\u201d Merz said.A similar message of resolve echoed through Luxembourg as EU foreign ministers met and insisted that the pressure campaign on Moscow would continue unabated. Their decision to add 1,600 people and entities to the sanctions list did nothing but accentuate the awkward EU-US split screen.But not giving up: In Brussels, Jorge challenged the European Commission to say where it draws the red line when it comes to Trump\u2019s unilateral decisions. \u201cWe will continue to engage with our partners and also with the US in bringing this war to a close,&#8221; the Commission\u2019s chief spokesperson replied. Watch the exchange.It seems that, for now, Europeans believe they have more to lose than to gain from breaking away from Trump. Retaining a seat at the table where Ukraine\u2019s future as a sovereign state and Europe\u2019s security architecture will be decided takes precedence over any diplomatic slight, however pointed or public, Jorge writes in his analysis.France braced for fresh protests: Meanwhile, France is set to face another day of student- and trade union-backed protests, following tense clashes between demonstrators and police across the country last week.The French education ministry said on Monday that although the number of school closures is falling, the \u201cviolence is intensifying&#8221;, amid signs that the initially peaceful protests are giving way to more violent unrest. President Emmanuel Macron has urged \u201crestraint\u201d, saying the issues at hand require \u201ctime, consultations, discussion, and respect\u201d.What began as student-led protests now appears to have tapped into a wider well of social discontent, with another demonstration against the rising cost of living planned for Saturday.\u00a0Mark your calendars: In other news, the much-anticipated UK-EU summit will take place in Brussels on November 20, both sides confirmed on Monday, four months after it was postponed amid political turmoil in London.Prime Minister Andy Burnham on Monday listed a raft of areas in which he hopes to make progress, adding that he would again raise his well-known concerns about the EU\u2019s Made in Europe industrial policy, which risks shutting out UK firms from European value chains.Drawing a line under \u2018decade of drift\u2019: But he also went further and said that the UK\u2019s chances of securing a better deal with Brussels \u201cwill be enhanced by our openness to a discussion about our relationship with the EU in the longer term.\u201d\u201cSticking with the status quo is not good enough for Britain. It would be a major dereliction of duty to turn away,\u201d Burnham said, adding that he is looking to \u201cset up a serious dialogue\u201d with Brussels about the longer-term relationship in order to draw a line under \u201ca decade of drift and division\u201d.

Martin O\u2019Donnell, said in a statement to Euronews.\u00a0\u00a0Shona has more.More from our newsroomsEU struggles to ramp up Red Sea mission as Houthis escalate attacks. The EU and Italy are pushing member states to bolster the Aspides naval mission in the Red Sea, but only two more warships have been pledged, exposing Europe\u2019s thin defence capabilities as the Houthis threaten energy supply routes, Luca Bertuzzi reports.EU-China trade deal raises fears Brussels will go soft on Beijing. The EU&#8217;s new trade deal with China has eased fears of an escalating trade war, but it could also weaken the political momentum behind Brussels&#8217; plans to take a tougher stance against Beijing&#8217;s economic practices, my colleague Peggy Corlin writes in this analysis.French navy intercepts and boards &#8216;shadow fleet&#8217; ship, Macron says. The French President announced on Monday that the navy had intercepted and boarded an oil tanker suspected of being involved in illegal fuel-trafficking activities off the coast of La R\u00e9union. Ukraine&#8217;s Main Directorate of Intelligence says the tanker is involved in the transportation of Russian crude oil and that it is associated with the Sovcomflot shipping firm.
