Story summary

On Sunday, President Donald Trump announced an immediate "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine, claiming both parties had agreed without providing specific details. The announcement came after Trump criticized the Ukrainian government for targeting Russian energy infrastructure, which he linked to rising oil prices in the U.S., reaching $6.28 per gallon nationally. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he was unaware of the deal and required reciprocal guarantees from Russia before agreeing to stop attacks on Russian targets. Despite Trump's declaration, Russia continued its air strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, including a plant in Kharkiv. Zelensky stated that Ukraine would support such an agreement if Russia also halted its attacks, emphasizing the need for "real guarantees" from allies against Moscow. The White House did not provide further clarification on the ceasefire terms.
