Trump Announces Ukraine Russia Energy Ceasefire Agreement

US President Donald Trump announced an immediate energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, saying both sides agreed to stop attacks on energy infrastructure, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv would support the arrangement if Moscow also accepted it.

Trump made the announcement on social media without releasing details of the terms. Zelenskyy said he had not been consulted before the statement and was awaiting information from the American side.

"Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!" Trump wrote in his statement.

Zelenskyy said Ukraine was prepared to follow the agreement if Russia made the same commitment. He had earlier rejected demands that Kyiv stop attacks on Russian oil facilities before Moscow halted strikes on Ukrainian energy sites.

"If President Trump negotiated it with Putin – please tell us when the ceasefire begins. We are ready and we will accept it," Zelenskyy said in an interview with Axios.

The Ukrainian president said any halt to long-range strikes would need to be mutual and supported by guarantees from allies. He also accused Russia of continuing attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure.

"We discussed the energy ceasefire announced by President Trump. Ukraine supports the ceasefire, and it is important that Russia support it as well. We are awaiting details from the American side," Zelenskyy wrote, according to his statement shared on X.

Russian officials had not immediately commented on Trump's announcement. The White House also did not provide additional details about the agreement.

The dispute followed Trump's criticism of Ukraine's strikes on Russian energy targets and his call for Kyiv to stop those attacks. Zelenskyy responded that Russia was responsible for the war and should first stop its own strikes.

"We are asking President Trump, (to) give them (a) signal, not (to) attack energy infrastructure of Ukraine," Zelenskyy said in an interview with ABC's "This Week."

Fighting continued despite the ceasefire announcement. Ukrainian officials said Russian attacks killed 23 people, including four children, in Zaporizhzhia, while Kyiv continued drone operations against Russian infrastructure.

According to Ukrainian officials, drone strikes targeted Russian facilities linked to the country's war economy, including a data center operated by Yandex that experienced service disruptions after an attack.

Zelenskyy also said Ukraine could hold elections if Russia agreed to a 60-day total ceasefire and security conditions allowed voting. He said choosing Ukraine's leader remained a decision for Ukrainian citizens.

"With all respect to President Trump, it's up to our society, up to our people to choose one or another leader," Zelenskyy said.
