On September 14, US President Donald Trump claimed that Ukraine and Russia had agreed not to target each other's energy facilities, a statement made after he criticized Ukraine for attacking Russian oil refineries. Trump asserted on his Truth Social platform that both countries had committed to avoiding attacks on energy targets, which he linked to rising global diesel prices during the ongoing conflict between Iran and the United States. The Ukrainian government did not comment, and there was no immediate response from Russia.

Story summary
On September 14, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed that Ukraine and Russia had agreed not to attack each other’s energy targets. However, President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine said Kyiv was ready to support an energy ceasefire if the U.S. could ensure Moscow's genuine commitment to ending attacks on Ukrainian critical infrastructure. Zelensky emphasized that no concrete agreement has been reached yet and expressed skepticism about Russia’s willingness to adhere to any truce. This proposed pause comes amid ongoing negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, possibly under Washington’s sponsorship in October, though progress remains uncertain. The potential ceasefire aims to mitigate the impact of attacks on energy infrastructure that have damaged heating and power networks during the five-year conflict, causing significant disruptions to civilian life and industries.
