“Effective immediately, there is an energy ceasefire in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed to this. Do not break it,” the president writes on Truth Social.
In an interview with Axios, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky commented on the ceasefire, saying, "It's news to me."
But if the Russians agree to an energy ceasefire, Ukraine will do the same, he continues.
In an X post later on Sunday evening, Zelenskyy says Russia attacked energy facilities in Kyiv and Kharkiv.
“And all this happened after the US president made his statement,” Zelenskyy writes.
At least three people were killed and another 20 injured on the outskirts of Kharkiv in Russian missile attacks on Sunday evening. A grocery store, two apartment buildings and a power plant were damaged in the attack.
French President Emmanuel Macron writes in a post on X that France "unreservedly supports a genuine energy ceasefire that Ukraine is prepared to accept," but also notes that Russia "has intensified its attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure in recent hours."
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also took to X to express her support for Ukraine and "a ceasefire to protect global food supplies and energy infrastructure in Ukraine and Russia." She also said she had spoken with Zelensky by phone.
Russia has not yet confirmed its position on a possible agreement.
