Zelenskyy urges US to act to ensure Russia abides by 'energy ceasefire'

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine has urged the United States to take action to ensure Russia complies with a proposed energy ceasefire between the two nations. The Ukrainian leader made this statement in a video address at the Warsaw Security Conference, following US President Donald Trump's announcement of the truce on his Truth Social platform.

Zelenskyy expressed his readiness to sign guarantees with Washington to build trust in the proposed agreement, but stressed that Russia, which he noted "doesn't read Truth Social," has not agreed to the terms. He warned that if the cease-fire is not respected, Ukraine will respond. Trump's energy ceasefire announcement came amid reports of ongoing Russian attacks on Ukraine, including strikes on energy infrastructure in cities like Kyiv and Kharkiv.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, meanwhile, has dismissed the cease-fire, calling for a long-term peace deal instead of a temporary truce.
