Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed support for an 'energy ceasefire' proposed by US President Donald Trump, conditioning it on reciprocal compliance from Moscow. Trump asserted that the truce between Russia and Ukraine went into effect immediately, though he offered little specifics regarding its enforcement.
However, Kyiv has pointed out that despite the diplomatic claims, Russian attacks on power plants and critical energy infrastructure persist. The ongoing strikes highlight the fragility of the proposed agreement and leave the practical reality of an energy truce in serious question.
