Ukraine and Russia deny Trump’s energy truce claims live: both sides reject reports

Despite former President Donald Trump's claims of an energy truce between Ukraine and Russia, both countries have denied any such agreement. Independent sources confirm that aerial and energy-related attacks continue unabated, with recent assessments from the Institute for the Study of War highlighting ongoing offensive operations. The conflicting narratives have added uncertainty to the conflict's trajectory and its impact on energy markets.

Ukraine and Russia remain engaged in active conflict, with both sides conducting energy-related attacks despite international calls for a pause. The situation underscores the gap between diplomatic initiatives and realities on the ground, as confirmed by statements from Ukrainian and Russian officials and independent analysts.
