Trump says Russia and Ukraine agreed to stop attacking energy infrastructure
14 Oct, 03:20
US President Donald Trump announced on October 11 that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to stop attacking each other's energy infrastructure. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed the announcement and said Ukraine was prepared to stop strikes on Russian energy facilities if Moscow did the same. However, Russia has not confirmed the agreement, and attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure have continued. Trump's announcement follows a separate agreement with Russia on October 9 to increase diesel supplies to the US and global markets. Washington temporarily eased sanctions to allow Russian diesel imports, aiming to reduce fuel prices amid disruptions to global energy supplies.
