Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine have reached an "energy ceasefire", saying it will take effect immediately. Russia has not confirmed it, but Zelensky said details are still waiting for

On October 12, U.S. President Trump issued a statement on the Truth Social platform, saying that Russia and Ukraine have reached an agreement on an energy ceasefire, emphasizing that the agreement "will take effect immediately, and both sides agree and must not destroy it." However, the United States did not disclose the specific terms and conditions, and Russia did not confirm this. Ukraine President Zelensky initially said he had no knowledge of the matter, saying that "the energy ceasefire is also new news to me," and revealed that Kiev is still waiting for the United States to provide relevant details. Later, Zelensky expressed his support for the ceasefire plan and hoped that the agreement would be effectively implemented, while pointing out that the Ukrainian army had received corresponding instructions; but he also admitted that Russian military "Shahid" drone activities were still visible over Ukraine that day, and the Russian army continued to carry out gliding bomb attacks on energy infrastructure, including the attack on a cogeneration plant in Kharkiv after Trump's statement.<br /> <br /> This is not the first time Trump has proposed such a ceasefire initiative. As early as September 14, he claimed that Russia and Ukraine had reached an energy ceasefire agreement, but the two sides have continued to launch military operations since then. According to European officials, the United States is recently exerting pressure on Kiev and many European countries. The threat measures may include suspending intelligence sharing and suspending weapons procurement through the PURL mechanism. In addition, Trump announced last Friday that he had reached an agreement with Putin on diesel supply, saying that Russia would immediately deliver more than 300,000 tons of diesel to the U.S. and global markets. The proposal was jointly opposed by senators from both parties, who believed that the move could violate a law banning Russian energy imports passed in 2022. Experts in the energy field questioned this and believed that Putin had not made substantial concessions. Zelensky made it clear that as long as Russia agrees to achieve a comprehensive ceasefire within 60 days, he will announce an election. However, at present, Trump's so-called energy ceasefire agreement has not been clearly confirmed by Russia, and the White House has not stated whether Trump will accept Zelensky's conditions.
