Trump claims energy strike pause agreed as Zelenskyy conditions halt on Western guarantees

Former U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Ukraine and Russia have agreed to refrain from targeting each other's energy infrastructure. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy clarified that Kyiv is only prepared to halt strikes if Western partners guarantee Moscow abstains from attacking Ukrainian energy facilities, infrastructure, and food supply routes.

The statements come as both nations continue exchanging strikes despite upcoming visits by U.S. envoys seeking to discuss potential peace proposals. Ukrainian emergency services reported further civilian casualties from Russian attacks in regions including Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, while Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Russian positions and energy assets. Additionally, Zelenskyy issued a decree dismissing Ukraine’s state prosecutor.
