Trump claims Ukraine and Russia agreed to an 'energy ceasefire'
US President Donald Trump has said Russia and Ukraine agreed to an 'energy ceasefire' but gave no details. His announcement came shortly after Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine was ready for a ceasefire, including on energy infrastructure.
US President Donald Trump said on Sunday, 11 October, that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to an "energy ceasefire". Such a deal would apply to attacks on energy facilities in Russia's war against Ukraine. Trump made the claim on his Truth Social account but gave no details of the purported agreement.
