Trump claims Ukraine-Russia 'energy ceasefire'; Kyiv reports strikes
Former US President Donald Trump announced an "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine, stating that both sides had agreed to it. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported that Russia had carried out fresh strikes on power plants and energy facilities after Trump's announcement. Zelenskyy stated that the ceasefire was "news to him" and that Ukraine was seeking further details. Some reports indicated that oil prices fell following Trump's announcement due to hopes of increased Russian supplies. While Trump claimed a deal was done, Moscow had not confirmed any agreement, and some outlets described Trump's announcement as a "fantasy ceasefire."
