Trump says Russia and Ukraine reached 'energy ceasefire'

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced an "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine, claiming both sides agreed to suspend strikes on energy infrastructure effective immediately. Neither government has confirmed the arrangement.
  • Trump's declaration followed an October 9 diesel supply deal with Russian President Vladimir Putin, during which Trump had urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries, blaming Kyiv for rising fuel prices.
  • Zelenskyy described the ceasefire as "news for me," yet confirmed Ukraine's readiness to halt refinery strikes if Moscow provides "real guarantees" and stops attacking Ukrainian power infrastructure.
  • European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen voiced support for the ceasefire, while officials warned the truce must be observed; Russia has continued intensifying strikes on Ukrainian power facilities throughout the weekend.
  • Skepticism remains, as analysts note Trump has made similar unconfirmed ceasefire claims previously. With no formal verification from the Kremlin, both nations remain locked in a long-range aerial war over energy infrastructure.
