Trump announces Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire, amid concerns over US diesel prices, as Kyiv and Moscow remain unconfirmed on agreement. Trump's deal with Russia to supply diesel to US market faces skepticism from experts on impact.
Trump's announcement of energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine comes as Ukraine's officials express surprise and seek further details. Kyiv's Zelensky states he is seeking clarification on the ceasefire, while Russia has not confirmed participation.
Analysts suggest the ceasefire may not immediately affect energy tensions, with ongoing war in Ukraine and attacks on energy infrastructure continuing. The deal's potential to lower diesel prices is questioned, with experts noting insignificant volumes in global supply.
Ukraine remains cautious, with officials noting the ceasefire is 'news to us' and emphasizing the need for Russia to respect it. The deal's impact on de-escalation and peace remains uncertain, with no immediate resolution on attacks on energy infrastructure.
