Trump says Russia and Ukraine agreed to stop energy attacks
US President Donald Trump says Russia and Ukraine have agreed to stop attacking each other’s energy sites.
Trump said the agreement started immediately, but he gave no details.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he was surprised by the announcement. He later said Ukraine would support the plan if Russia did the same.
Zelensky then accused Russia of attacking Ukrainian energy sites after Trump announced the agreement.
Trump has been pushing Ukraine to stop attacking Russian oil sites.
He wants Russia to release more diesel to the US and world markets as part of a new deal.
The deal has been criticised by Zelensky and some politicians in the US and Europe, who say it gives Russia too much.
Russia has not yet said whether it agreed to Trump’s energy ceasefire.
