Ukraine Denies Trump's 'Energy Ceasefire' as Russia Continues Strikes and US Faces Backlash Over Russian Diesel Deal

U.S. President Donald Trump announced an 'energy ceasefire' between Russia and Ukraine, but Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy denies any cessation of attacks, reporting continued Russian strikes on energy facilities. This comes as Trump's decision to lift sanctions and pursue a deal to import Russian diesel fuel draws criticism and concern from European allies, who are simultaneously imposing more sanctions on Russia. The U.S. is also reportedly threatening to withhold weapons from Ukraine if it continues to target Russian refineries.
