U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an immediate “energy ceasefire,” but provided no details, while Kyiv said it had not been informed of an agreement and reported continued Russian attacks on energy facilities.
“Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. Moscow did not immediately confirm the purported agreement, and the White House offered no public clarification.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine supported a halt to attacks on energy infrastructure and was awaiting details from Washington. He said Kyiv was prepared to stop striking Russian energy targets if Moscow did the same.
Zelensky later said Russian drones and bombs had struck Ukrainian energy sites after Trump’s announcement, including power facilities in Kyiv and Kharkiv. Ukrainian officials said a Kyiv power plant was hit, causing outages, and that Kharkiv’s CHP-5 plant was also attacked.
On Monday, Zelensky said Ukraine had learned of Trump’s announcement through media reports and had not heard Russia approve the proposal. He reiterated that Kyiv would honor a mutual pause.
Separately, the Kremlin rejected Zelensky’s proposal for a 60-day total ceasefire that would allow Ukraine to hold presidential elections. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia wanted a long-term peace agreement rather than a temporary ceasefire. Ukrainian law prohibits elections while martial law remains in force.
