Trump claims Ukraine and Russia agreed to spare energy targets
President Donald Trump stated Monday that Ukraine and Russia have reached an agreement to avoid striking each other's energy facilities.
Trump makes the claim on social media
The US leader posted this assertion on his Truth Social network. He said both nations agreed not to hit diesel fuel refineries or other energy infrastructure.
Fuel costs rise amid ongoing conflict
Trump attributed the recent increase in global diesel prices primarily to the war between Russia and Ukraine. He insisted that the conflict with Iran is not the main cause of these rising costs.
Kyiv and Moscow offer no comment
The Ukrainian presidency declined to comment on the statement immediately after it was made. There was also no immediate reaction from Moscow regarding Trump's claims about a new agreement.
