Trump Declares Russia-Ukraine Energy Ceasefire, but Kyiv Says It Learned of It From His Post

Summary
Trump said Sunday an “energy ceasefire” between Russia and Ukraine took effect immediately, warning both sides not to violate it.
Kyiv signaled conditional support but said the announcement caught officials by surprise; a source close to Zelensky said Ukraine would agree if Russia does, and another official said they learned of it from Trump’s post.
Zelensky had earlier told ABC News he was open to an energy truce, saying Ukraine would stop striking Russian diesel if Moscow stopped attacks that kill civilians and hit Ukrainian infrastructure.
The claim came days after Trump spoke with Putin and announced a controversial Russian diesel supply deal, while talks with Ukrainian and US officials in Miami were already under way and enforcement details remained unclear.
