President Donald Trump said Sunday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to stop attacks on energy targets, effective immediately.
“Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Do not break it!”
Trump gave no details about the facilities covered, the agreement’s duration or how violations would be handled. His claim that both countries had agreed was not independently verified.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had offered to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries if Russia stopped striking Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
In his post on X, Zelenskyy wrote:
“Any de-escalation steps must be reciprocal and backed by real guarantees.”
Zelenskyy’s post laid out a condition for stopping Ukrainian strikes. It did not confirm that Ukraine had accepted the ceasefire Trump announced.
The Ukrainian president also reported that rescue crews had completed their search in Zaporizhzhia that morning. He said a Russian attack there killed 23 people, including four children.
A strike in Slovyansk that morning destroyed a whole section of a five-story apartment building, according to Zelenskyy. He warned that people might remain under the rubble.
In Kharkiv, he reported an attack on a medical facility the previous day. Overnight attacks also hit homes, energy sites and other civilian infrastructure, he wrote.
Russia had used around 1,450 aerial bombs and 75 missiles of various types that week, Zelenskyy said. He also reported more than 1,640 attack drones, roughly 60% of them jet-powered.
The casualty figures, damage accounts and weapons totals were not independently verified.
Zelenskyy thanked emergency workers responding to the attacks. He blamed Russia alone for the war in Europe and accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of refusing to halt strikes on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.
He said he would speak with European leaders that day about further support for Ukraine. Discussions with partners were taking place almost daily, with air defenses and ammunition for combat aircraft among the main priorities.
