Trump claims Russia and Ukraine agree to energy ceasefire
Por Barak Ravid — Axios
President Trump claimed Sunday that Russia and Ukraine agreed to an “energy ceasefire” and will halt attacks on each other’s energy facilities.
Why it matters: An “energy ceasefire” would be a dramatic diplomatic breakthrough ahead of the winter. But neither Russia or Ukraine confirmed Trump’s announcement, and it remains unclear if the parties indeed agreed to stop the strikes.
- Trump made a similar announcement last month, but neither party confirmed that there was a deal. Both Russia and Ukraine continued attacking energy infrastructure.
What he is saying: “Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Catch up quick: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that Ukraine was prepared to stop attacking Russian refineries if Moscow halted strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
