Original reporting
Donald Trump announced an "energy ceasefire" aimed at halting attacks on energy infrastructure in the Russia‑Ukraine war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he was surprised by the claim but indicated he would support such a truce if Moscow also committed to it. He welcomed the idea as a potential step toward reducing civilian suffering, but noted that Russia had remained silent on the proposal. No further details were provided about the terms of the ceasefire or any official response from the Russian government. The announcement reflects ongoing diplomatic efforts to mitigate the humanitarian impact of the conflict, though concrete agreements have yet to materialise.
