Trump Declares Energy Ceasefire as Zelenskyy Demands Reciprocal Guarantees
President Trump announced a new 'energy ceasefire' between Russia and Ukraine on Sunday, shortly after criticizing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s leadership and calling for his replacement. Zelenskyy rejected the demand, stating that Ukraine will only halt strikes on Russian refineries if Moscow stops attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure. The dispute follows a U.S. deal to suspend sanctions on Russian diesel exports, which Kyiv and European allies condemned as funding the war. Meanwhile, Ukrainian drone strikes on Yandex data centers in Vladimir, Ryazan, and Kaluga disrupted digital services across Russia and neighboring states.
