Trump Announces Russia-Ukraine Energy Ceasefire, Zelensky Says "News For Me"

A day after pushing for a new Ukrainian President, Donald Trump on Sunday claimed that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an "energy ceasefire", which was effective immediately. Zelensky said the announcement was 'news' for him.

"Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine," the US President, who has been involved in efforts to end the war between the two European countries, announced in a post on Truth Social.

He claimed both parties had agreed to the ceasefire, urging the countries, "Do not break it!" He did not specify the timeline of the ceasefire or how it will be implemented. There was no immediate word from the Kremlin or the White House regarding the ceasefire.

Zelensky later told Axios that Trump's announcement was "news for me".

"But if Russians agree to an energy ceasefire Ukraine will agree. If president Trump negotiated it with Putin -- please tell us when the ceasefire begins -- we are ready and we will accept it," he told the news outlet.

In a separate post on X, the Ukrainian President said he had spoken to Canadian President Mark Carney, NATO General Secretary Mark Rutte and Finland President Alex Stubb about the Trump-announced ceasefire.

"Ukraine supports the ceasefire, and it is important that Russia support it as well. We are awaiting details from the American side," he wrote, adding, "Ukraine always FULLY supports steps toward de-escalation, the protection of lives, and the decisions needed to end the war and guarantee lasting peace."

Hours later, Zelensky claimed Russia had hit a power plant. 

"The Russians struck a power plant in Kyiv with a 'shahed' drone," Zelensky said in a social media post, adding that strikes on other energy facilities followed in the Kharkiv region.

"And all of this happened AFTER the President of the United States made his statement about an energy ceasefire," he added.
Zelensky Hits Out At Trump

Trump's claim comes shortly after an interview with Zelensky was aired on ABC News, where he urged the US President to "please tell Putin" to give Ukraine two months of a ceasefire.

"Please tell Putin, give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire, 60 days, and we will organise elections," Zelenskiy told ABC's "This Week."

His requests came against the backdrop of Trump, on Saturday, pushing for a new President of Ukraine, which has not seen a presidential election since 2019.

Citing Zelensky's inability to strike a peace deal with Russia, which recently signed an agreement to export diesel to the US, Trump told reporters, "I suggest they get a new leader who can make a deal. For some reason (Zelensky) never does".

During his interview on Sunday, Zelensky hit back at Trump. "First of all, with all respect to President Trump, it's up to our society, up to our people to choose one or another leader." 

He noted that Putin would also like to change who was leading Ukraine, telling ABC that conducting elections during a war was "really difficult" and securing the infrastructure was important before people could go out to vote.

"We need to stop this war as quickly as possible. We are counting on the United States and our allies in Europe to stop Putin," he said.
