Trump Says Russia and Ukraine Agree to Energy Ceasefire, Kyiv Reports Attacks President Donald Trump said Russia and Ukraine agreed to an immediate energy ceasefire, but Ukraine reported continued Russian strikes on its power infrastructure and said it is ready to halt attacks on Russian refineries if Moscow does the same. U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an energy ceasefire in the 4 1/2-year-old war, and that it took effect immediately. He offered no details on what it entails. Trump's brief social media post said only that both parties had agreed. Do not break it, he wrote. Moscow did not immediately comment on the announcement.Zelenskyy Responds To Ceasefire ClaimUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said his country welcomed the announcement as good news for everyone. But he said Russia was still hitting energy infrastructure in Kyiv and in the city of Kharkiv. Unfortunately, Ukrainian skies have been infested with Russian shaheds all day today, he said in an evening address, referring to drones launched by Moscow. There have been glide bomb strikes and strikes on our energy infrastructure too.A power plant in Kharkiv was attacked this evening. The presidential office confirmed the Kharkiv attack came after Trump's ceasefire post. Zelenskyy said Ukraine was ready to refrain from striking Russian energy infrastructure and counted on the same readiness from Russia. Russia has sought to deny Ukrainian civilians power, heat and running water during the war, hoping to wear down public resistance to Moscow's full-scale invasion.Ukrainian officials describe the strategy as weaponizing winter. Zelenskyy said Ukraine has proposed many de-escalatory steps but Russian President Vladimir Putin had one answer to all of them, nyet. We do hope that he will finally say something different to America, Ukraine, and the entire world, he said. He said Kyiv is maintaining contact with the United States and thanked Americans for their support.Ukraine Ready For De-escalation StepsHe said on X that he had spoken about the development with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Finnish President Alexander Stubb and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. In an interview broadcast earlier Sunday on ABC's This Week, Zelenskyy said Kyiv was ready to stop striking Russian refineries if Moscow halted attacks on Ukraine's energy system. He asked Trump to press the Kremlin to agree.We are asking President Trump, give them a signal, not to attack energy infrastructure of Ukraine, he told ABC's This Week. Russia doesn't feel real pressure, they want to continue, Zelenskyy said, adding that he had told Trump and his team Ukraine is ready for a ceasefire. We are ready to begin from any kind of steps of de-escalation, he said. Don't attack us.Don't kill our children. Trump said Saturday it was time for Ukraine to get a new president, suggesting Zelenskyy has not done enough to end the war and blaming him for high diesel prices in the U.S. The day before, Trump had again demanded that Zelenskyy halt attacks on Russian oil refineries, saying we will stop attack your diesel. Zelenskyy said in response that Ukraine could hold elections if Russia agreed to a 60-day ceasefire.Give us two months, 60 days off. Total ceasefire, 60 days, and we will organize elections, he said, adding that Ukraine would accept whatever choice its people made. With all respect to President Trump, it's up to our society, up to our people to choose one or another leader, he said. Holding an election during the war would be unlawful, and Ukraine would need security guarantees to allow for safe voting, Zelenskyy added.Ukraine has been under martial law since Putin launched the full-scale invasion in February 2022, and the Ukrainian Constitution bars elections while it remains in force. Beyond the legal barrier, a nationwide vote would be vulnerable to Russian attacks and is widely seen as logistically impossible. Roughly a fifth of the country is held by Russia, millions of Ukrainians are displaced abroad and soldiers are on the front line.Yandex Data Center Hit By DronesZelenskyy's term formally expired in May 2024, but the constitution allows him to remain in office until a new president is sworn in. The exchange came as Kyiv pressed its campaign against Russian infrastructure. A drone attack on Sunday shut down a data center in the city of Vladimir, east of Moscow, run by technology giant Yandex. It was the third strike on the company's facilities in four days.The Ukrainian drone attack caused outages across the company's services. Users in dozens of Russian cities and in Kazakhstan, Belarus and Armenia were unable to order taxis or access banking services, according to Russian independent news outlet Astra. Operations at the data center have been completely halted. There were no injuries, said the Yandex Cloud Telegram channel, which updates service availability.Moscow residents described disruption to everyday tasks. Pavel Belyavskiy, a driver for Yandex Taxi, said it was unclear whether orders were coming through at all, and that he had to cancel several rides after waiting a long time because he could not reach the passenger. Russia and Ukraine have been waging a long-range aerial war while their armies remain largely deadlocked on the front line.Trump, who on Friday struck a deal with Putin to buy diesel from Moscow in an attempt to address high fuel prices ahead of U.S. midterm elections, has been urging Zelenskyy for weeks to stop striking Russian energy infrastructure. He has sought to blame record U.S. diesel prices on Ukraine rather than the U.S.-led war in Iran, which has driven up world energy prices.The diesel deal required a Treasury waiver to lift sanctions and has drawn bipartisan criticism in the United States. Ukrainian and European officials reacted to the diesel deal with dismay, saying it will help pay for Russia's war effort. Zelenskyy assailed the deal as giving Russia more resources to continue the war. Trump's announcement on Sunday about the energy ceasefire appeared aimed at easing tensions after a week of escalating rhetoric.The statement did not provide further details on how the ceasefire would be implemented or monitored. It remains unclear when the agreement would take effect or how it would be enforced.
