Zelenskyy rejects Trump claim of Ukraine and Russia ‘energy ceasefire’ – live updates

10 sources →

President Donald Trump announced via Truth Social that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to an 'energy ceasefire' effective immediately. The announcement follows a contentious week in which the U.S. reached a deal to import Russian diesel and Trump called for the replacement of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. While Trump claims both parties agreed to the halt, Zelenskyy stated he was unaware of a finalized deal but expressed willingness to stop strikes on Russian refineries if Russia reciprocally stops targeting Ukrainian infrastructure. Moscow has not yet confirmed the agreement.
