Russia and Ukraine agreed to stop attacking each other's energy infrastructure, according to an announcement by US President Donald Trump on social media. This decision comes as a possible breakthrough in negotiations for a ceasefire between the two countries.
Trump attributed responsibility for the rise in diesel prices to the war between Russia and Ukraine, contradicting a previous narrative that blamed Tehran for increases in fuel prices.
The agreement on energy infrastructure could represent a significant step in the attempt to reduce conflicts between Moscow and Kiev, although it is not yet clear if this specific truce will apply to other types of military targets.
The Trump administration has sought to play a mediating role in the conflict, and this promise not to attack energy infrastructure could be an indicator of progress in ongoing diplomatic discussions.
