Trump Claims Russia and Ukraine Agreed to 'Energy Ceasefire'

Former President Donald Trump announced Friday that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to an "energy ceasefire," describing the development as effective immediately. Few specific details were provided regarding the agreement. Neither Kyiv nor Moscow have yet commented on Trump's assertion.

Trump has previously advocated for Ukraine to halt strikes on Russian oil infrastructure. Kyiv argues these strikes are crucial for limiting revenue that Russia uses to fund its war effort. Trump's stance came as Ukraine seeks to fulfill a recent agreement to supply diesel fuel to the United States and the global market.

Earlier on Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky indicated a willingness to cease targeting Russian energy infrastructure, provided Russia stopped attacking Ukrainian energy facilities. These Russian attacks have reportedly intensified as winter approaches.
