What happened
President Trump announced an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, stating that both parties have agreed to the ceasefire. This announcement comes after Ukraine bombed a Russian diesel terminal. Ukrainian President Zelensky responded, stating that Ukraine supports the ceasefire and is awaiting details from the American side.
According to reports, the energy ceasefire follows a historic diesel deal between the US and Russia, in which the US will import diesel fuel from Russia. However, hours after the deal was announced, Ukraine bombed a Russian diesel oil depot, prompting President Trump to criticize Zelensky.
Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine always fully supports steps toward de-escalation and the protection of lives, and is committed to ending the war and guaranteeing lasting peace. The energy ceasefire is seen as a significant development in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
