U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a ceasefire on their energy infrastructure, effectively halting attacks between the two nations. The announcement came after a recent escalation in deadly strikes. Trump posted the news on social media, but did not provide specifics on the duration, enforcement, or the targeted sites.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was unaware of the ceasefire, but stated that Ukraine would accept it if Russia agreed. Zelenskyy expressed readiness to accept the ceasefire if Trump negotiated it with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The decision followed a disagreement between Trump and Zelenskyy regarding attacks on Russian oil refineries.
Trump had criticized the strikes, suggesting that Ukraine needed a new leader. Zelenskyy proposed a 60-day ceasefire, asking Putin to organize elections if he agreed. The EU's chief, Ursula von der Leyen, supported Zelenskyy's stance on the ceasefire, emphasizing its importance in protecting global food supplies and energy infrastructure.
