Kremlin Calls Trump’s Energy Truce ‘Good Idea’
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described Trump’s proposed energy truce as a “very good idea” on Tuesday. He said the pause could ease pressure on Russia’s fuel market while alleging that Ukrainian forces attempted to strike a Russian energy facility after Trump’s announcement, despite neither side confirming that a formal agreement has been reached.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the energy ceasefire proposed by the U.S. president is "a very good idea." However, he clarified that the truce alone will not solve world market shortages. According to Peskov, addressing the main issue - exporting petroleum products to global markets - requires Ukrainian forces to stop attacking oil tankers and for sanctions on Russian energy exports to be lifted.
He emphasized that while the ceasefire would help stabilize Russia's domestic market, which is already "close to being fully saturated," fixing fuel shortages internationally would necessitate further efforts beyond the ceasefire agreement.
