· World · Bloomberg, Times of India, CNBC
Former US President Donald Trump stated that Ukraine and Russia have reached an agreement to refrain from striking energy targets, including oil refineries.

The exact nature of the alleged accord remains unclear, and its impact on global energy markets is yet to be assessed. The statement has not been verified by independent sources.
