"Trump is very angry." The US President announced an “energy truce” between Russia and Ukraine and threatened Kyiv

The administration of United States President Donald Trump is threatening to stop the procurement mechanism that provides Kyiv with weapons. Washington is doing this to force Ukraine to stop attacking Russian energy infrastructure, the Financial Times writes, citing European officials.

As specified, US representatives are contacting officials in both the European Union and Ukraine. In addition, Washington is threatening to stop sharing intelligence information.

The statement was made by an FT interlocutor who received a call from a representative of the US Department of Defense.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow remains ready to participate in negotiations on Ukraine.

What is known about the “energy truce”

On October 11, the US President announced that an energy truce would come into force between Russia and Ukraine.

Zelensky said that the “energy truce” announced by Trump was news to him. “But if Russia agrees to a ceasefire in the energy sector, Ukraine will also agree,” the politician noted.

On Friday, October 9, Trump telephoned Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to the owner of the White House, he reached an agreement with Putin on the supply of 300 thousand tons of diesel fuel to the world and American markets in October, 500 thousand in November and a million immediately after that.

Details of Trump's statement

US President Donald Trump's announcement on Sunday regarding an energy truce between Russia and Ukraine referred to a potential deal that would involve both sides not targeting oil refineries. The details were revealed by Axios.

At the same time, Trump expects his Ukrainian counterpart Vladimir Zelensky to comply with these agreements, a White House spokesman said.

According to the official, if attacks on refineries stop, the next step could be an agreement to renounce attacks on power plants and energy infrastructure.

The publication notes that Trump is trying to achieve a partial ceasefire unilaterally. Russia has not officially confirmed the agreement, and Ukraine insists on an option that prohibits attacks on power plants.

Trump is angry at Zelensky

White House officials warned that Ukraine's attacks on Russian refineries are causing enormous damage to Zelensky's relationship with Trump, Axios writes.

The publication notes that amid the crisis around Ukraine, special presidential envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner postponed their planned trip to Moscow - at least until it becomes clear whether Ukraine and European countries are ready to accept a new common proposal.

On Friday, a Ukrainian official told Axios that during a meeting with US negotiators in Miami, Witkoff and Kushner threatened that Trump could stop sharing intelligence if Ukraine continued to ignore his requests.

A US spokesman denied this information, saying that Witkoff and Kushner told the Ukrainian side that the US was a reliable partner supplying ammunition and intelligence. Therefore, they say, Ukraine should not take actions that harm American consumers.
