Trump claims energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, Kyiv disputes

Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

U.S. President Donald Trump announced an immediate energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, claiming both sides agreed. Kyiv reports no prior notification or confirmation of the deal.

Trump's post on Truth Social claimed an 'energy ceasefire' effective immediately, but Ukrainian officials say they were unaware. Zelensky said he discussed the proposal with Canadian, Finnish and NATO officials, seeking details from the U.S.

Kyiv has long supported de-escalation and peace efforts, but Trump's announcement comes amid ongoing attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure. The U.S. is also threatening to block arms to Ukraine over refinery attacks.

Ukraine and Russia have not commented on the ceasefire, with Kyiv reporting fresh strikes on energy facilities, suggesting the deal remains unverified and unresolved.
