Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Russia is not complying with an energy ceasefire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump. While Trump claimed a truce was in effect, Russia allegedly struck six Ukrainian energy facilities shortly after, causing blackouts and civilian casualties. Trump suggested the war is a 'disaster' and stated that violations occur on both sides, while emphasizing a desire to lower fuel prices via a deal to import Russian diesel. Ukraine and European officials expressed skepticism, noting that Russia has increased its attacks ahead of winter, while reports emerged that the U.S. threatened to halt intelligence sharing and weapon procurement if Ukraine continues its strikes on Russian oil refineries.
