Trump claimed both parties had agreed to an immediate energy ceasefire, but Ukrainian President Zelenskyy said the announcement was 'news to me' and he was not aware of any such agreement, while a Ukrainian official said they had just read it as others did; neither side confirmed the agreement, and Russian strikes on energy infrastructure continued afterward.
