Trump Announces Energy Ceasefire Between Ukraine and Russia
On 11 October, US President Donald Trump announced an immediate 'energy ceasefire' between Russia and Ukraine, claiming both sides would halt attacks on energy infrastructure. This marks Trump's second ceasefire announcement in less than a month, following a similar proposal on 14 September that was rejected by Russian President Vladimir Putin. While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed conditional support for the ceasefire, he noted ongoing attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, including 196 strikes on electricity networks and 20 on oil and gas facilities in the past week. As of now, Moscow has not confirmed its acceptance of the ceasefire, leaving the situation uncertain regarding the cessation of attacks.
