Trump's energy truce announcement was news to Zelenskyy, but Ukraine will agree if Russia does
Ukraine is ready to agree to an energy truce, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said. However, the announcement by U.S. President Donald Trump of a ceasefire was news to the Ukrainian leader, Axios reporter Barak Ravid said on X on Oct. 11.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed that he was unaware of the energy truce announcement made by U.S. President Donald Trump, according to Axios reporter Barak Ravid. Ravid reported that Zelenskyy stated, "The ceasefire announcement was news for me. But if Russians agree to an energy ceasefire, Ukraine will agree."
However, it appears that Ukrainian authorities were not privy to the truce agreement prior to Trump's announcement. On October 11, Trump tweeted that an energy truce between Ukraine and Russia would be effective immediately, with both sides allegedly agreeing to the terms. Shortly before Trump's tweet, Kyiv reported a Russian attack on an energy facility in the capital city.
According to Financial Times reporter Christopher Miller, Ukrainian officials in Kyiv had no prior knowledge of the truce.
