US President’s statement on an “energy truce” between Russia and Ukraine

US President Donald Trump disseminated information on the social network Truth Social that an "energy truce" has come into effect between Russia and Ukraine, which implies a cessation of attacks on energy facilities. According to Trump, the parties agreed because he urged them to do so. For his part, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated at the Warsaw Security Forum that the information about the truce is news to him and noted that Russia does not read Truth Social, as it continues attacks on energy infrastructure in Kharkiv and other cities.

Zelenskyy emphasized that Ukraine supports an energy truce, but Moscow must also show that it agrees to it; otherwise, Ukraine will resort to retaliatory measures. The Ukrainian President also stated that holding elections in the country is impossible without a full ceasefire. According to sources, Washington threatened Ukraine with the suspension of intelligence sharing and arms supplies if Kyiv did not stop attacks on Russian oil facilities. Formula+5

Speaking to journalists, Donald Trump refused to unilaterally blame Russia for violating the truce and noted that violations are being recorded from both sides. According to Trump, Putin wants to reach an agreement more than Zelenskyy does, and both leaders should meet each other to end the war. Furthermore, Trump criticized Zelenskyy for strikes on Russian oil refineries, which he said are causing a global diesel shortage. 1TV+8
