Trump's Energy Ceasefire Claim Blindsides Zelensky as Russia Strikes Ukraine
President Trump announced a Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire, but Zelensky said he was caught off guard, and Russia has continued military attacks.
President Trump announced a Russia-Ukraine "energy ceasefire" involving pauses on strikes against energy infrastructure, but the claim caught Ukrainian President Zelensky by surprise. Multiple outlets report conflicting accounts of the agreement's status, with some saying Zelensky welcomed the announcement while others indicate he was blindsided. The announcement came amid broader tensions over a diesel supply deal that has drawn criticism from lawmakers.
The ceasefire announcement was quickly undermined by continued Russian military action. Russia struck a Ukrainian power plant shortly after Trump's announcement, contradicting claims of any active agreement. Oil prices fell following Trump's declaration, suggesting markets viewed the ceasefire as potentially stabilizing energy supplies.
