Zelensky on Trump's "energy truce": It is important for it to become part of reality

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine is ready to refrain from striking Russia's energy sector. He was commenting on the so-called "energy truce" proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump, stressing that it is important for the idea to become part of reality rather than remain only words.

Zelensky said Kyiv counts on Russia showing the same readiness to give up such attacks. However, he said, Russian forces have not yet halted their strikes, which continue to hit Ukrainian energy infrastructure, among other targets.

As a result, the mutual restraint on energy attacks that Ukraine says it is prepared to observe is not yet in effect, since Russia has not confirmed its readiness and the attacks go on. The source gives no further details on the terms or timeline of the proposed truce.
