Confusion surrounds a potential energy truce between Ukraine and Russia following an announcement by Donald Trump. Kiev has stated that no truce is currently in effect and has requested clarification from the United States regarding its terms. Ukraine maintains it will continue strikes against Russia if a ceasefire is not agreed upon. The Kremlin has neither confirmed nor denied the existence of an energy truce agreement. However, the Kremlin indicated it would only consent to a day of truce on the day of elections in Ukraine. This situation leaves the possibility of de-escalation uncertain and dependent on the political timeline in Ukraine.
