Zelenskyy Discusses Trump's Announced Energy Truce with Carney, Stubb, and Rutte
Kyiv said it will back the ceasefire if Russia follows it, even as strikes on energy infrastructure continued, officials said.
- On Sunday, October 11, President Donald Trump announced an 'energy truce' between Ukraine and Russia, halting attacks on energy infrastructure. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the surprise announcement requires Russian adherence to be effective.
- Trump's announcement followed his Friday claim that Russian President Vladimir Putin would supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel. Trump previously criticized Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries, arguing they inflated global prices.
- Zelenskyy discussed the ceasefire with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, and NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. Carney said the agreement 'has the potential to significantly de-escalate the war.'

- Trump told reporters Saturday that Ukraine should 'get a new leader who can make a deal,' while Putin said peace talks were unlikely to resume immediately, citing Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow.
