Donald Trump has said Russia and Ukraine have agreed to an "energy ceasefire" in the ongoing war.
The US President offered no further details beyond the declaration that the ceasefire is "effective immediately," while Kyiv and Moscow have not yet released comments. The BBC has asked the White House for clarification.
Ukraine has continued to target Russian oil infrastructure, arguing that it cuts the Kremlin’s war‑financing. President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he would halt attacks if Russia stopped striking Ukrainian energy sites, a demand that remains unmet.
The claim carries potential implications for global fuel supplies and the economic stability of the conflict, as both sides may face shifts in oil revenue and market pricing.
The story is developing; more details will be added as the situation unfolds.
