1 article from The Hill.

News Clarion synthesisAcross 1 sources

US President Donald Trump claimed Monday that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to halt attacks on each other's energy infrastructure, but Zelenskyy rejected this characterization, saying Ukraine would only pause strikes if Russia did so first and the US guaranteed compliance. A Russian drone struck a petrol station in Kyiv on Tuesday, appearing to contradict Trump's claimed agreement. Zelenskyy said Moscow would need to commit honestly and on a long-term basis to peace before Kyiv would de-escalate such attacks.
