Trump announces Russia-Ukraine energy truce as Zelensky says he knows nothing of it
US President Donald Trump said on Sunday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to a truce in the energy sector, effective immediately, according to a post on his Truth Social platform. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded that he knew nothing about such a deal. No details on the terms or how the truce would be implemented were available.
Why it matters
The gap between Washington's announcement and Kyiv's response raises questions about whether the deal is ready to be implemented. Any easing of attacks on energy facilities could also affect oil and gas markets, which are sensitive to the course of the war.
Background
Russia and Ukraine have been locked in a war for years, and the energy sector is one of its arenas. The US president regularly uses the Truth Social platform to announce his positions and decisions.
How outlets covered it
All three outlets agree on the core fact: Trump announced that Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to an energy truce. Sky News Arabia includes Zelensky's statement that he "knows nothing about it" in its text and puts it in the headline. RT Arabic attributes the announcement to Trump's Truth Social post, and the excerpt available from it carries no Ukrainian response. CNN Arabic's headline says Kyiv commented, but the excerpt available from its text covers only Trump's announcement.
