Trump says Russia and Ukraine agreed to halt attacks on energy targets

Donald Trump, whose administration has faced criticism over record‑high diesel prices in the United States, asserted that Russia and Ukraine have reached an agreement to cease attacks on energy infrastructure. The former president made the claim during a recent interview, linking the purported cease‑fire to the escalating fuel costs that have been a focal point of domestic economic concerns.

Both parties to the alleged accord responded differently. Russian officials offered no comment on the claim, while Ukrainian representatives said they await “specifics from our partners” before confirming any such arrangement. The divergent reactions leave the veracity of Trump’s statement unverified, and the issue remains a point of contention amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and domestic pressure over energy prices.
