President Donald Trump announced Sunday that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to what he described as an “energy ceasefire.”

“Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!” the president said in a post to social media Sunday morning.

CNN has reached out to the White House for information on how the agreement was reached and what the next steps may be. There was no immediate confirmation from Russia or Ukraine.

The announcement comes days after Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin and the two announced a controversial deal to supply markets with Russian diesel fuel.

Talks with top Ukrainian and US officials, including Trump’s son in law Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff, got underway in Miami as the diesel deal was announced Friday, but Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky starkly criticized the news. Trump said as recently as Saturday that Ukraine should “get a new leader who can make a deal.”

It was not immediately clear what led to the Sunday announcement. In an interview earlier on Sunday, Zelensky also called for a ceasefire.

“OK, if they want energy ceasefire, we are open for this,” Zelensky said about Russia during an interview with ABC News. “Don’t attack us. Don’t kill our children. We will stop attack your diesel. And I think it’s fair, fair deal.”

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周日宣布，俄罗斯和乌克兰已同意达成他所谓的“能源停火”。

“即日起，俄罗斯和乌克兰之间的能源战争进入停火状态。双方已达成一致。请勿违反！”总统周日上午在社交媒体上发帖称。

CNN已联系白宫，询问协议是如何达成的以及下一步可能采取的措施。俄罗斯和乌克兰方面均未立即对此作出回应。

就在特朗普与俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京通话几天后，双方宣布了一项备受争议的协议，即向市场供应俄罗斯柴油燃料。

周五柴油交易宣布的同时，包括特朗普女婿贾里德·库什纳和特使史蒂夫·威特科夫在内的乌克兰和美国高级官员在迈阿密展开了会谈。但乌克兰总统泽连斯基对此消息予以强烈批评。特朗普就在上周六还表示，乌克兰应该“选出一位能够达成协议的新领导人”。

目前尚不清楚是什么原因导致了周日的声明。泽连斯基在周日早些时候接受采访时也呼吁停火。

“好吧，如果他们想要能源停火，我们愿意接受，”泽连斯基在接受美国广播公司新闻采访时谈到俄罗斯时说。“不要攻击我们。不要杀害我们的孩子。我们将停止攻击你们的柴油。我认为这是一个非常公平的交易。”
