Background
On October 11, US President Donald Trump announced the start of an energy truce between Ukraine and Russia, stating that both sides had agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure.
However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Kyiv had not negotiated such an agreement with Moscow but was ready to support it if Russia agreed to cease the attacks.
Subsequently, the White House clarified that the initial agreement concerned a cessation of attacks on oil refineries, followed by power plants and power grids.
