Trump announces "energy truce" between Russia and Ukraine; Zelensky unaware
US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that Russia and Ukraine had reached an agreement on what he described as a truce in the energy sector, which he said takes effect immediately. Trump gave no further details on the agreement, and no immediate confirmation came from Kyiv or Moscow. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the US news site Axios that he knew nothing about Trump's announcement of a ceasefire in the energy sector, and said Kyiv would agree if the Russians agreed to a ceasefire in the energy sector.
Why it matters: The announcement bears on energy security, because the proposed truce concerns strikes on oil refineries and energy infrastructure and follows a US decision to temporarily lift sanctions on Russian fuel.
