President Donald Trump’s announcement of an immediate energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine was met with confusion in Kyiv on Sunday\.
Just after Trump declared on Truth Social that both countries had agreed to stop attacking each other’s energy infrastructure, the Kyiv Independent reported that a senior Ukrainian official had no knowledge of such an agreement\.
The Kobeissi Letter also reported, citing Axios, that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the announcement as “news to me” and questioned when the supposed ceasefire would begin\.
That specific quotation has not yet been independently verified\.
**Ceasefire remains unconfirmed**
Trump announced that the agreement would take effect immediately, but provided no details about its terms, enforcement or duration\.
Axios reported that neither Moscow nor Kyiv had confirmed the arrangement\.
Earlier Sunday, Zelensky reiterated that Ukraine was willing to stop attacking Russian refineries if Russia ended strikes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure\.
**What to watch**
The immediate question is whether either government formally confirms the ceasefire and whether military operations against energy infrastructure actually stop\.
For oil markets, continued uncertainty could sustain geopolitical risk premiums, particularly in diesel markets already affected by disruptions to Russian refining capacity\.
