Trump says Ukraine, Russia agree not to hit energy targets
Ukraine said it would stop strikes only if partners secure a reliable Russian commitment to protect energy and critical infrastructure.
- 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.
