US President Donald Trump claimed Russia and Ukraine have agreed to stop attacking each other’s energy infrastructure, although neither side has confirmed the understanding. Trump made the claim Monday on his social media platform, saying Ukraine agreed not to target Russian energy facilities and Moscow agreed to do likewise. His statement came a day after he urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to stop targeting Russian oil refineries and diesel infrastructure. Trump argued such strikes were contributing to a shortage and pushing diesel prices higher. He said halting attacks on energy targets could help ease pressure on global diesel supplies. The claim follows concern over rising diesel prices in the United States.
