President Donald Trump's announcement that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to stop hitting each other's energy sites, a deal he tied to rising diesel prices, unraveled Trump made the claim in a Monday post on Truth Social, which also blamed the Russia-Ukraine war, not his own war with Iran, for the global rise in diesel prices. About an hour later, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on X that no such agreement existed.

Trump wrote, adding that the world's diesel price rise was "mostly caused by the Russia/Ukraine War, not Iran." "Ukraine has proposed that its partners secure an agreement with Russia that would stop the destruction of critical infrastructure," Zelenskyy wrote, saying Kyiv would halt its own strikes only if those partners could guarantee that Russia genuinely stopped first. "Ukraine is not convinced that Russia is willing to abide by any agreement," he added.
