Calls for Energy Truce Amid Ongoing Strikes Between Russia and Ukraine

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has indicated willingness to pause attacks on Russia if the Kremlin spares critical energy infrastructure. This statement comes as both Russia and Ukraine continue to trade strikes on energy targets, despite claims from former U.S. President Trump that an agreement to halt such attacks has been reached. While Trump urges Ukraine to stop targeting Russian refineries due to rising global diesel prices, Ukraine insists there is no official ceasefire in place, highlighting their readiness to de-escalate if Russia reciprocates. The Kremlin has welcomed the idea of an energy truce but has attached conditions related to maritime navigation and sanctions. The situation remains fluid, with ongoing aerial attacks, leading both parties to insist there are no agreements on halting strikes on energy infrastructure.
