Trump Claims Russia, Ukraine Agree To Stop Energy Target Attacks

US President Donald Trump announced on Monday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to stop attacking each other's energy targets. "Ukraine has agreed not to hit Russian Energy targets. Russia has agreed to do, likewise!" Trump posted on Truth Social, though he provided no start date, duration, enforcement mechanism, or specifics about which facilities were covered.

No independent confirmation from Russian or Ukrainian government sources accompanied the announcement. Trump did not disclose who negotiated the arrangement or describe preceding talks. The post also offered no clarity on whether the commitments had already taken effect or remained conditional.

Trump additionally attributed the global rise in diesel prices primarily to the Russia-Ukraine war rather than Iran, without providing supporting data or figures to substantiate his assessment.
