Zelensky Backs Energy Truce, Says Ukraine Forces Have Received Orders

An energy truce between the two sides matters most for European power and fuel markets, which have priced war risk into gas, refined products and freight for years. The signal here is that Ukraine has already issued orders, so the near-term question is whether Russia reciprocates in practice rather than rhetoric. For crypto and RWA markets, the read-through is indirect: any durable de-escalation in energy flows would ease the macro risk premium that has shaped positioning across risk assets, while a breakdown would revive it. Whether the arrangement is genuinely implemented is the open question.
