Zelenskyy says Russia is violating Trump's 'energy ceasefire'

What happened

What happened Monday: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told the Warsaw Security Forum by video that there have already been "Russian violations of the energy ceasefire announced by President Trump," Al Jazeera reported. He said Ukraine is "waiting for the details of the conditions between the Americans and Russians" and that the pause "can become a major step toward ending the war if the Americans truly step in now and make sure Russians respect it." "If Russia does not agree to an energy ceasefire, we will respond," he said.

Sunday's announcement: Trump wrote on Truth Social that an "ENERGY CEASEFIRE" was "effective immediately" and that "both parties have agreed," Fox News and the New York Post reported. He gave no terms, duration or enforcement mechanism. Zelenskyy had told Axios the post was "news for me" while saying Ukraine would accept if Russia did.

Europe's response: French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters he had "not noted, over the last 48 hours, any energy ceasefire coming from the Russian side." Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Russia is "not interested in a ceasefire" and that he would press partners in Brussels for more sanctions. The EU said it had added almost 1,600 individuals and entities tied to Russia's military-industrial complex — "the single largest expansion of our sanctions list since Russia started its war," EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas wrote.

Why it matters

Without published terms or a Kremlin confirmation, the "ceasefire" remains a U.S. announcement that Kyiv says Russia is already breaking, while Europe is widening sanctions instead of easing pressure.
