— 🇺🇸/🇷🇺/🇺🇦 NEW: President Trump has announced an ‘energy ceasefire’ between Russia and Ukraine, in which both sides would refrain from targeting each other’s refineries, powerplants, and the electrical grid

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Axios that the announcement came as a surprise to him, because nothing had been discussed with Ukraine.

However, he said Ukraine is ready to implement it if Russia does so too. The Kremlin has not yet commented.
