Trump says Ukraine, Russia agree not to hit energy targets
Ukraine and Russia have not confirmed a binding truce, and Kyiv says any pause on strikes needs reliable guarantees from Moscow.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Ukraine and Russia agreed to halt strikes on energy infrastructure, though he provided no enforcement details.
- Trump's claim follows days of urging Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to stop targeting Russian diesel refineries, blaming the conflict for global shortages rather than Iran.
- Neither Kyiv nor Moscow has publicly confirmed the deal, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stating Ukraine will halt strikes only if partners secure a "genuine" commitment from Russia.
- Zelenskyy warned any agreement must be reliable and not collapse after Russian elections, while Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said such calls to stop attacks are "welcomed."
- Diplomatic efforts to broker a broader peace deal remain stalled over Russia's territorial demands, though Zelenskyy plans to discuss infrastructure strikes with Trump in New York next week.
