Donald Trump announced that Russia agreed to supply diesel to global markets and claimed an 'energy ceasefire' had been reached between Russia and Ukraine, though the Kremlin did not formally confirm a ceasefire and Zelensky later accused Russia of breaking it after further strikes. EU leaders, including German Chancellor Merz and Defence Minister Pistorius, criticized the deal as undermining sanctions, with Germany vowing to maintain its own sanctions and the EU preparing to formally express regret over the arrangement in an upcoming summit communiqué. US envoys Witkoff and Kushner reportedly told Ukrainian officials in Miami that the diesel deal could help bring the Kremlin back to negotiations and urged Kyiv to pause refinery strikes; Ukraine complied for two days, but Zelensky said Russia continued its own attacks regardless, while Russia signaled plans to increase diesel exports significantly by year's end.
