On 11 October 2026, President Donald Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to stop strikes on energy infrastructure and said the arrangement was effective immediately. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv learned of the purported agreement through media reports and was prepared to observe a reciprocal halt if Russia did the same. The Kremlin did not publicly confirm that it had accepted the arrangement. The announcement therefore created a public U.S. commitment and a testable expectation, but not evidence of a mutually signed ceasefire.
