US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an immediate “energy ceasefire,” but Kyiv said it had not received advance details and Moscow declined to confirm any agreement.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy initially described Trump’s declaration as “news to me,” then said Ukraine supported a ceasefire and was awaiting information from Washington. Zelenskyy reported that Russian strikes hit power facilities in Kyiv and Kharkiv after the announcement, causing outages.
French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday that he had seen no evidence Russia was observing an energy truce. He said Russian forces had continued bombing Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure, while supporting efforts to establish a genuine ceasefire and resume peace talks.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov refused to comment directly on Trump’s announcement, saying contacts were continuing and Moscow would provide information when available. Peskov separately rejected Zelenskyy’s proposal for a 60-day general ceasefire to permit presidential elections, saying Russia wanted a long-term peace agreement rather than a temporary halt.
Oil and diesel prices initially fell after Trump’s statement amid expectations of improved supplies, though crude later reversed those losses. The announcement followed a temporary easing of US sanctions on Russian diesel transactions and Trump’s claim that Moscow had agreed to release additional fuel onto global markets. Analysts cautioned that Russia’s ability to supply the promised volumes remained uncertain after repeated Ukrainian strikes damaged refining capacity.
