JUST IN: Trump Announces Ceasefire Agreement Between Russia, Ukraine

President Donald Trump announced Sunday morning that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an energy ceasefire. “Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it,” the president announced in a Truth Social post.

Neither the Russian nor the Ukrainian government immediately confirmed that an agreement was in place, however. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Axios that the agreement was news to him, but stated that Ukraine would accept so long as Russia did the same.

“The ceasefire 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 said.

Earlier the same day, Zelensky had reiterated Ukraine’s conditional position in an interview with ABC News. “OK, if they want energy ceasefire, we are open for this. Don’t attack us. Don’t kill our children. We will stop attack your diesel. And I think it’s fair, fair deal.”

And there it is.

Trump announces that both Russia and Ukraine have agreed to an energy ceasefire.

My guess is, that Zelensky was informed of what will happen to him if he continues to disobey Trump.

On X, he wrote that Ukraine would be prepared to stop striking Russian oil refineries if Russia ceased attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, adding that any de-escalation steps must be reciprocal and backed by real guarantees.

Sunday’s announcement comes under 24 hours after President Trump called for Zelensky to be replaced after the Ukrainian armed forces launched attacks targeting diesel infrastructure in Russia.

On October 9, Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed a arrangement under which Russia would supply diesel to U.S. and global markets — more than 300,000 tons immediately, additional volumes in November, and further shipments thereafter — accompanied by temporary U.S. sanctions relief. Zelensky and European leaders responded by describing the deal as “weak,” which was followed by Ukraine’s attempt to derail it.

The proposal for mutual restraint on energy targets has been discussed for months. In mid-September, Trump stated that the two sides had agreed not to strike each other’s energy infrastructure. Ukrainian and Russian officials did not confirm that claim at the time, and strikes on energy facilities continued. The Kremlin described the idea as a very good idea but linked it to conditions including the removal of sanctions on Russian energy exports and guarantees for the safety of seaborne oil tankers.

Zelensky said Ukraine would support such a measure only if partners could ensure that Russia was prepared to end the war on a long-term basis. Similar short-lived arrangements had been attempted earlier in the year.
