Trump Says Ukraine, Russia Agree to Pause Energy Strikes; Zelenskyy Questions Formal Deal

President Trump claimed Kyiv and Moscow agreed to pause strikes on energy targets to ease rising fuel prices tied to the Ukraine and Iran wars, though Zelenskyy says no formal deal has been confirmed. Experts note that Iran-related tensions and the Strait of Hormuz have driven energy shocks more than the Ukraine conflict, while Kyiv signals willingness to halt energy strikes if a real pause with Russia is secured. The remarks surface as fuel costs become a political issue ahead of elections.
