  "summary": "U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Sunday via Truth Social that an immediate energy ceasefire has been agreed upon by both Russia and Ukraine. Trump stated that both parties had agreed to the deal, though he provided no further details regarding the arrangement. This follows a previous announcement on September 14 where he claimed Ukraine agreed not to hit Russian energy targets and Russia agreed to do likewise.\n\nPresident Volodymyr Zelensky expressed surprise at the announcement, telling Axios that the news came as a surprise and requesting information on when the ceasefire begins. While Zelensky stated that Ukraine is ready to accept the deal and supports it, he noted the importance of Russia supporting it as well. Interfax-Ukraine reported that Zelensky has not seen confirmation of Russia's agreement to the truce.\n\nReports following the announcement indicate continued conflict. NPR noted that Kyiv reported attacks by Moscow on energy sites after the statement was made. Malay Mail reported that Zelensky stated Russia struck multiple power plants in Kyiv and Kharkiv, leading to power outages, and that Ukrainian skies were filled with Russian \"shaheds\" throughout the day. According to the Financial Times, a senior Ukrainian official told the publication that repair teams were restoring electricity and water in Kyiv following Russian strikes and that nobody had heard of the ceasefire.",
