Donald Trump said Russia and Ukraine agreed to an immediate 'energy ceasefire', though neither side gave details.

Donald Trump announced on Sunday that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an 'energy ceasefire' effective immediately. In a brief social media post, Trump said both sides had agreed and wrote 'Do not break it!' but offered no other details on the ceasefire's terms.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy responded that Ukraine supported the ceasefire and called on Russia to do the same. He said Ukraine was awaiting details from the American side. In an interview with ABC's 'This Week' aired on Sunday, Zelenskyy said Ukraine was ready to stop striking Russian refineries if Moscow halted attacks on Ukraine's energy system, and asked Trump to press the Kremlin to agree.

Zelenskyy also said that Ukraine could hold elections if Russia agreed to a 60-day total ceasefire, adding that Ukraine would accept whatever choice its people made. Moscow did not immediately comment on Trump's announcement, and the White House did not clarify the president's post.
