Ukraine’s Zelenskyy accuses Russia of violating Trump’s ‘energy ceasefire’

What the report says

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of breaching the “energy ceasefire” that US President Donald Trump said had been agreed over the weekend, and warned that Ukraine would respond if attacks continued. Speaking by videolink at the Warsaw Security Forum on Monday, Zelenskyy said he wanted Washington to help ensure Moscow followed any pause on strikes against energy infrastructure. He also said he was waiting for clarity on the terms and on what concrete steps the United States would take.

The announcement of the truce has created confusion in Kyiv and Europe because neither side had publicly confirmed it when Trump first described it. According to the Al Jazeera report, Zelenskyy had earlier said the deal was news to him. European leaders signaled support for the idea of reducing attacks on energy facilities, but several said they had not seen evidence that the ceasefire was actually in effect.

The report also said the European Union imposed nearly 1,600 additional sanctions on Russia’s military-industrial complex, describing it as its largest expansion since the war began. In parallel, Russian strikes overnight hit Naftogaz gas production facilities in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region, causing a fire and damaging equipment, according to the company. The episode underscores how energy infrastructure remains a central front in the wider war and a focus of diplomatic pressure on Moscow.
