Quick Summary

President Trump announced on Truth Social that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to an energy cease-fire effective immediately, following his controversial decision last week to broker a deal for the United States to purchase large amounts of diesel from Russia. The announcement comes amid rising tensions with Kyiv over recent attacks by both sides on each other’s energy infrastructure, which Trump’s administration has linked to soaring diesel prices in the U.S., currently at $6.28 per gallon nationally.

Story summary

On October 11, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told ABC News he is willing to organize elections if Russian President Vladimir Putin agrees to a 60-day ceasefire. This statement came in response to criticism from US President Donald Trump, who had previously called for Ukraine to "get a new leader." Zelenskiy emphasized that it is ultimately up to the Ukrainian people to choose their president and noted that such elections would require security, which might only be possible during a temporary ceasefire. Meanwhile, tensions escalated after Trump announced a deal with Russia temporarily lifting sanctions on Russian fuel, a move seen by Ukraine as potentially funding the war against them. Zelenskiy also defended recent attacks on Russian oil refineries, arguing they were retaliatory strikes in response to repeated Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
