Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told Fox News that if the American president believes the war is influencing energy prices, he can ask for an "energy ceasefire," a deal halting attacks on energy infrastructure. Zelenskyy says Ukraine is ready to honor such a truce as long as Russia does the same, and he also affirmed Ukraine's backing of broader US peace efforts, including possible front-line freezes. The comment lands in the middle of a dispute over fuel prices, since President Trump has pressed Kyiv to stop striking Russian oil facilities while Zelenskyy argues that high prices come mainly from the war in the Middle East and disruption around the Strait of Hormuz.

The remark also comes as Russia keeps hitting Ukrainian power facilities despite earlier US-announced attempts at energy de-escalation. President Trump has declared an energy ceasefire more than once, but Zelenskyy has said Russian strikes continued, including attacks on six energy facilities within hours of the most recent announcement, and he says Russian non-compliance has kept those truces from taking effect. The Kremlin has not publicly committed to the arrangement. Big questions remain, including whether Moscow will agree to stop, whether any truce could actually hold, and whether it would do anything to bring down fuel prices.
