The Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire
Russia refrained from striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure for the first time since Trump's energy ceasefire was announced, even as it continued heavy bombardment of Ukrainian cities. The shift follows a stretch in which Ukraine's Zelensky accused Moscow of hitting six energy sites in violation of the truce, prompting the EU to impose new sanctions on Russia. Russian officials have still not publicly confirmed the ceasefire's terms or even its existence, leaving its status officially unacknowledged by Moscow.
