What happened
US President Donald Trump announced that Ukraine and Russia have agreed to an immediate energy ceasefire in a social media post. However, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed surprise at the announcement, stating it was news to him. Russia has yet to comment on the matter.
The announcement comes as the US is experiencing high diesel prices, partly due to the war with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Recently, Trump announced a deal to import Russian diesel in an attempt to lower fuel prices ahead of the midterm elections.
