Ukraine supports energy ceasefire with Russia: Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed support for an energy ceasefire with Russia, as announced by U.S. President Donald Trump. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of de-escalation, protecting lives, and ending the war for lasting peace, and stated that Ukraine would stop striking Russian refineries if Moscow halted attacks on Ukraine's energy system.

He also urged Trump to push the Kremlin to agree to the ceasefire. Meanwhile, Ukraine has been conducting drone attacks targeting Russian infrastructure, including a data centre run by Yandex, a Russian technology giant. This marks the third such strike in four days, causing outages across the company's services in multiple countries.
