Trump Says Russia-Ukraine Energy Ceasefire Is in Effect

An energy ceasefire between two major commodity producers matters well beyond the battlefield, because strikes on refining and export infrastructure have been one of the few channels through which this war moved global fuel and power markets. The immediate question is verification: with no terms, signatories or duration disclosed, the scope of what is actually protected — refineries, pipelines, the grid — remains undefined. Whether the pause holds, and whether it extends beyond energy targets, is the open question.
