Trump Says Ukraine, Russia Agree Not to Hit Energy Targets

- On Monday, President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social that Ukraine and Russia agreed to halt strikes on energy infrastructure, though he provided no enforcement details.

- Diplomatic efforts to broker a broader peace deal remain stalled over Russia's territorial demands, though Zelenskyy plans to discuss infrastructure strikes with Trump in New York next week.
