The Kremlin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected President Trump's assertion that both sides had agreed to an energy cease-fire. Dmitri S. Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, said a halt to strikes on energy infrastructure would be "a very good idea" but would not significantly affect fuel markets as Trump claimed.

Zelensky called the proposal "strong" but said Kyiv would only comply if the U.S. ensures Russia is genuinely ready to stop the war. Trump announced the supposed truce on social media Monday, linking global diesel price increases to the Russia-Ukraine war rather than the conflict in Iran, a claim energy experts dispute. Peskov added that market relief requires ensuring the safety of Russian fuel tankers and lifting sanctions on Moscow's energy exports.

Overnight, both nations continued strikes: Russian drones hit gas stations in Kyiv, while Ukraine attacked an oil refinery in central Russia and a drone factory in Taganrog, a city on the Sea of Azov. Frontline fighting remains stalemated, with escalating air campaigns targeting military, energy, and logistics infrastructure. Russian strikes caused grocery shortages in Ukraine, while Ukrainian strikes triggered a significant fuel crisis in Russia and damaged warehouses of Wildberries and Ozon, Russia's two biggest online retailers.

Russia has begun using more destructive jet-propelled drones.
