Trump announces Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire but Russia continues striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure
US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday via Truth Social that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an immediate 'energy ceasefire,' but neither Moscow nor Kyiv had been consulted in advance. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said he learned of the agreement through the media and reported that Russia continued striking Ukrainian energy facilities, including a power plant in Kharkiv, hours after the announcement. The Kremlin declined to confirm any agreement, with spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying only that 'contacts are ongoing.'

The split, in one line
Most outlets report the same facts but split on emphasis: some foreground Russia's violations and Ukraine's compliance, while others highlight Trump's unilateral social media diplomacy and the domestic midterm political pressure driving the diesel deal and ceasefire push.
