Trump claims agreement reached

Donald Trump posted on social media that an energy ceasefire was effective immediately between the two nations. He stated that both parties had agreed to stop attacking energy infrastructure. This announcement came while Russian forces continued to strike Ukrainian facilities.

Kyiv expresses surprise and concern

Volodymyr Zelensky said he was surprised by the news and confirmed he had not seen any details of a deal. He noted that Russia hit multiple energy sites including gas stations and power plants in Kharkiv and Kyiv. The Ukrainian leader vowed to retaliate if attacks on the grid continued during the winter.

Moscow remains silent on deal

The Kremlin has not confirmed or denied any agreement regarding an energy truce. European leaders expressed support for a ceasefire but warned that Russia must stick to it. Analysts suggest the lack of Russian cooperation indicates Moscow will not accept the proposed terms.
