Trump announces that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to an "energy truce"... and how is Kiev commenting?

US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to what he described as an “energy truce.” Trump said, in a post on social media, on Sunday: “With immediate effect, an energy truce goes into effect in the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Don't break it!" Ufaq News Network contacted the White House and the Kremlin to obtain information on how the agreement was reached and possible next steps. A source close to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Ufaq News that the announcement was a surprise to them, but they would agree to it if Russia agreed.

In response to a question about Trump’s post on the Truth Social platform, another Ukrainian official told Ofoq News: “We just read it, just like you.” This announcement comes days after Trump held talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin, after which the two sides announced that they had reached a controversial deal to supply the markets with Russian diesel fuel.

Talks began in Miami between senior Ukrainian and American officials, including Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and his special envoy Steve Witkoff, coinciding with the announcement of the diesel deal on Friday, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky strongly criticized this news. On Saturday, Trump said that Ukraine must "choose a new leader capable of concluding an agreement."

It was not immediately clear what led to Sunday's announcement. In an interview earlier the same day, Zelensky also called for a ceasefire.

“Well, if they want an energy truce, we are open to that,” Zelensky said, referring to Russia, during an interview with ABC News.
