President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has discussed the energy truce announced by U.S. President Donald Trump with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte, the Ukrainian leader said on X on Oct. 11.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte about the energy truce declared by U.S. President Donald Trump, according to his X account on October 11. Zelenskyy emphasized Ukraine's support for the ceasefire and called for Russia's cooperation as well. He expressed anticipation for details from the U.S. side and reiterated Ukraine's commitment to de-escalation and peace.
On October 11 at 5:16 p.m. Kyiv time, Trump announced the energy truce between Ukraine and Russia, which both sides agreed upon immediately. However, Ukraine was reportedly unaware of this truce, according to the Financial Times and Axios. Zelenskyy claimed that the announcement was news to him, but stated that Ukraine would accept a ceasefire if the Russians agreed to it.
Trump had previously stated that Ukraine and Russia had agreed not to target each other's energy facilities. The Financial Times reported that the truce was announced prematurely due to a lack of final agreement, with Putin reportedly unwilling to make a deal before winter. Zelenskyy had previously suggested that the U.S. had proposed an energy truce, but there was no evidence of Russia's willingness.
