President Trump announces an immediate energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, but neither Moscow nor Kyiv has agreed to the deal. The announcement comes as Washington pressures Ukraine to halt attacks on Russian oil refineries, raising questions about what concessions Kyiv would be expected to make.
