Trump claims Russia and Ukraine agree to energy ceasefire
President Trump claimed Sunday that Russia and Ukraine agreed to an "energy ceasefire" and will halt attacks on each other's energy facilities.
Why it matters: An "energy ceasefire" would be a dramatic diplomatic breakthrough ahead of the winter.
But neither Russia or Ukraine confirmed Trump's announcement, and it remains unclear if the parties indeed agreed to stop the strikes.
Trump made a similar announcement last month, but neither party confirmed that there was a deal.
Both Russia and Ukraine continued attacking energy infrastructure.
What he is saying: "Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine.
Both parties have agreed.
Do not break it!" Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Catch up quick: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday on ABC's "This Week" that Ukraine was prepared to stop attacking Russian refineries if Moscow halted strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
