Trump says Russia and Ukraine reached 'energy ceasefire' - Reuters

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that Russia and Ukraine have reached an agreement for an “energy ceasefire,” describing the arrangement as taking effect immediately. The statement was made during a public appearance in which Trump emphasized the importance of stabilising energy supplies in the region.

According to the president, the ceasefire is intended to halt hostilities that affect energy infrastructure, allowing both countries to address critical energy needs without further disruption. He indicated that the agreement was reached directly between the two parties and that it would be implemented without delay.

As of the time of reporting, officials in Kyiv and Moscow have not issued any comments confirming or denying the existence of such an agreement. No official statements from the Ukrainian government or the Russian foreign ministry have been released to corroborate the president’s claim.

The lack of verification from either side means that the details and scope of the purported ceasefire remain unconfirmed. International observers and analysts have noted that, without official acknowledgment, the practical impact of the announced arrangement cannot be assessed.

The situation remains fluid, and further information is expected pending statements from the governments of Ukraine and Russia. Until such confirmations are made, the status of any energy-related ceasefire between the two nations remains uncertain.
