President Trump's announcement Sunday about an "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine referred to a potential deal that includes each side stopping attacks on oil refineries — and he expects Volodymyr Zelensky to abide by it, a White House official said.
President Donald Trump on Friday declared an “energy ceasefire” between Russia and Ukraine, in which both sides would purportedly refrain from attacking each others’ energy infrastructure.
The comments come hours after Russia launched another deadly aerial attack targeting Ukrainian cities and power plants, in what Zelensky called a show of disregard for the Trump-backed truce.
President Trump lashed out at his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky in a Thursday TV interview after Zelensky said Ukraine was “done” honoring Trump’s demand to hold off on striking Russian energy sites.
Russia has attacked Ukrainian energy and oil and gas facilities 76 times since U.S. President Donald Trump announced an energy ceasefire, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.
