Volodymyr Zelenskyy Says Russia Violates Ceasefire

What happened

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia violated a proposed energy ceasefire after President Donald Trump announced that both countries had accepted one. Trump gave few terms, Moscow did not confirm the deal, and Zelenskyy said he had not heard Russian approval. The dispute sits inside a long exchange of energy attacks during Russia’s invasion, with Ukraine facing risks to power, heat and water as winter nears. Trump has pressed Kyiv to stop refinery strikes while easing sanctions on Russian diesel imports. Zelenskyy said Ukraine would halt long-range attacks on Russian oil sites if Moscow stopped hitting Ukrainian energy and critical infrastructure. The scope of any ceasefire remains unclear.
