Trump says Ukraine and Russia agreed to an energy ceasefire

US President Donald Trump said Ukraine and Russia had agreed to an energy ceasefire, meaning a halt to attacks on energy infrastructure.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine was ready not to strike Russian energy sites and expected Russia to show the same readiness.

He said he was waiting for clear details of US discussions with Russia.

Zelensky also said Russian strikes hit a power plant in Kyiv and energy facilities in the Kharkiv region after Trump's announcement.

The two countries have been trading attacks on energy infrastructure for months.

Russia says the sites it attacks support Ukraine's military, while Zelensky says Ukrainian strikes aim to reduce Russia's ability to fund the war.

The White House had been asked for further details, and French President Emmanuel Macron and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen supported an energy truce.
