Trump's 'energy ceasefire' claim welcomed by Zelensky but Russia silent

OK PUT YOUR DRINK DOWN FOR THIS ONE HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THIS TRUMP ENERGY CEASEFIRE THING YET? BECAUSE HONESTLY I AM TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND IT. APPARENTLY TRUMP CLAIMS RUSSIA AND UKRAINE AGREED TO STOP HITTING ENERGY FACILITIES, WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE ZELENSKY SOUNDED SURPRISED AT FIRST BUT NOW SAYS HE IS ON BOARD IF MOSCOW AGREES, THOUGH MOSCOW IS LITERALLY SILENT RIGHT NOW. THE WHOLE POINT IS TRUMP WANTS RUSSIAN DIESEL HITTING GLOBAL MARKETS TO LOWER US FUEL PRICES BEFORE MIDTERMS SINCE THE WAR WITH IRAN MESSY STUFF HAS BEEN HIKING UP PRICES. ZELENSKY IS CALLING IT A GIFT TO PUTIN WHILE US POLITICIANS AND EUROPEAN OFFICIALS ARE ALREADY PUSHING BACK HARD ON THIS DIESEL DEAL. WE REALLY HAVE NO IDEA IF RUSSIA WILL ACTUALLY SIGN OFF ON THIS. ANYWAY I AM FINE, EVERYTHING IS FINE.

RIGHT SO PICTURE THIS TRUMP IS PUSHING FOR AN ENERGY CEASEFIRE BETWEEN UKRAINE AND RUSSIA TO GET MORE DIESEL ON THE MARKET BECAUSE FUEL PRICES ARE KILLING HIS POLLING NUMBERS AFTER THAT WHOLE WAR WITH IRAN. ZELENSKY SAYS HE WILL SUPPORT THE TRUCE IF RUSSIA DOES BUT THE KREMLIN HAS NOT SAID A WORD WHICH IS THE WEIRDEST PART OF THE WHOLE THING. MEANWHILE ZELENSKY IS CLAIMING RUSSIA IS STILL HITTING UKRAINIAN FACILITIES EVEN AFTER TRUMP ANNOUNCED THIS DEAL. TRUMP WANTS THIS DIESEL FLOWING BY SUSPENDING SANCTIONS BUT EUROPE AND EVEN SOME OF HIS OWN REPUBLICANS HATE THE IDEA, CALLING IT A GIFT TO PUTIN. IT IS A MASSIVE MESS INVOLVING GLOBAL MARKETS AND WAR STRATEGY AND LITERALLY NOBODY KNOWS IF RUSSIA WILL PLAY BALL. ANYWAY WHAT ARE YOU DOING LATER?

Donald Trump has proposed an 'energy ceasefire' between Russia and Ukraine to stabilize fuel prices, a move supported by Zelensky but met with silence from Moscow and criticism from Western officials.
