Donald Trump announces that Ukraine and Russia have agreed to stop attacking each other’s energy infrastructure

United States President Donald Trump stated on Monday that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to stop attacking each other’s energy infrastructure, amid rising diesel prices worldwide. The announcement was made on the Truth Social platform, but no independent confirmation was provided by Kyiv or Moscow.

“Ukraine has agreed not to attack Russian energy targets anymore. Russia has agreed to do the same,” Trump wrote. The American leader claimed that the increase in diesel prices is mainly caused by the war between Russia and Ukraine, not by the conflict in the Middle East.

The statement came a day after Trump publicly asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to stop attacks on diesel refineries in Russia. He said he had spoken directly with Zelenskyy and told him not to target these facilities, because the attacks contribute to the global shortage and affect prices at the pump.

In recent months, Ukraine has repeatedly attacked energy infrastructure and refineries in Russia, while Moscow has continued strikes against Ukrainian energy facilities. It is unclear whether the alleged commitment announced by Trump represents a formal agreement or a temporary understanding.
