Russia: Trump's Ukraine Ceasefire Proposal Is 'Good Idea'
Moscow called the proposal a good idea but said any deal must protect oil exports and commercial shipping.
- On Monday, United States President Donald Trump proposed an "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine, which Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov welcomed on Tuesday while insisting Russia must be allowed to export oil unhindered.
- President Trump claimed on social media Monday that both nations "agreed" to stop striking energy targets, though Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy clarified he spoke only of a "strong US proposal" for a "mutual halt."
- Amid the ceasefire proposal, Russia launched 200 drones against Ukrainian cities overnight, killing two people, while President Zelenskyy said Ukraine struck an oil refinery in Syzran and drone production facilities in Taganrog and Oryol.
- Peskov stated Russia expects removal of "illegal restrictions on the supply of energy resources to the world" as a condition, reiterating that Russia could stabilize its domestic market independently.
- Separately, Russia criticized a French security initiative to bring European countries under its nuclear umbrella; foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova described the plan as "reckless," while Finland joined the discussions earlier this week.
