Trump announces Russia and Ukraine enter "energy ceasefire", Zelensky responds

China News Service, October 12 (Xinhua) Comprehensive report: U.S. President Trump posted on social media on the 11th that from now on, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will enter an "energy ceasefire" state. Trump said that both Russia and Ukraine have agreed to this. He warned "not to break" this ceasefire commitment.

In this regard, Ukrainian President Zelensky said that Trump has announced an energy ceasefire arrangement. Ukraine welcomes this and hopes that this arrangement can be truly implemented. Zelensky said that Ukraine supports this measure and has made its position clear, but it needs a response from Russia.

Zelensky also said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have received relevant orders. Ukraine is waiting for specific details of the dialogue between the United States and Russia, and expects Russian President Vladimir Putin to fulfill the relevant commitments stated by Trump.

It was previously reported that diesel supply has been tight in the United States recently. Trump attributed the high diesel prices to the attacks on each other's energy facilities by both sides in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Trump announced on the 9th that the leaders of the United States and Russia had reached an agreement on Russia’s supply of diesel to the United States and global markets. Zelensky later said that allowing Russia to sell oil products "is investing in war," expressing disappointment and saying he felt "betrayed." Trump said on the 10th that "Ukraine should have a new president," implying that Zelensky had not done enough to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and also accused Zelensky of causing the rise in U.S. diesel prices.
