Trump claims Russia and Ukraine agree to energy ceasefire

SUMMARY

President Trump claimed Sunday that Russia and Ukraine reached an "energy ceasefire" to stop attacks on each other's energy facilities.

Ukrainian President Zelensky said the announcement was news to him, but he would agree if Russia truly committed to a ceasefire.

This ceasefire could mark a significant diplomatic breakthrough for winter. However, past similar claims by Trump have not led to confirmed agreements, and both sides have continued attacks.

Zelensky expressed readiness to accept a ceasefire negotiated by Trump, while tensions escalated over Ukraine's actions against Russian oil refineries. In response to criticism, Zelensky stated that Ukraine would hold elections if Russia agreed to a 60-day ceasefire.
