Trump claims Russia and Ukraine agreed to halt energy strikes
What's new: Kyiv said it had not seen details, while oil fell and traders weighed Trump's separate Russian diesel deal.
President Donald Trump said Russia and Ukraine had agreed to an immediate halt to attacks on each other’s energy facilities, but the claim drew no confirmation from Moscow and a skeptical response from Kyiv. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the reported deal was “news to me” and that he was still waiting to see details. Markets reacted quickly: Brent crude and US oil futures fell Monday on expectations that more Russian fuel could reach global buyers. Trump also said Russia would release more than 300,000 metric tons of diesel immediately, with additional volumes to follow in November and afterward.
