Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine stops striking Russian oil refineries and related energy facilities for two days, but that Russia does not observe a proposed “energy ceasefire” linked to Donald Trump. Zelenskyy says a strike in Kyiv results in two deaths, despite the claim of a pause in certain cross-border energy-related attacks.
According to outlets, Zelenskyy frames the situation as unilateral restraint by Ukraine while continuing Russian attacks. The coverage highlights that Ukraine’s alleged pause concerns oil refineries and energy infrastructure, while Russia is portrayed as carrying on attacks against Ukraine. While the reports largely agree on Zelenskyy’s central claims—two-day restraint and Russia’s alleged non-compliance—they emphasize different elements, including the Kyiv fatalities and the specific focus on refinery targets.
