Kremlin: Contacts on Trump's Russia-Ukraine energy ceasefire continuing

The Kremlin said on Tuesday that contacts about an energy ⁠ceasefire ⁠between Russia and Ukraine which US president Donald Trump announced ⁠on Sunday were continuing, but that it had nothing more to say on the matter for now.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov did not ⁠specify who ⁠Russia was talking to about the ceasefire.

Trump's surprise announcement, which he said was "effective immediately," took Ukraine by surprise according to ⁠President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and Russia has not said whether it was informed about Trump's announcement beforehand or not.

Russia's ⁠Defence ‌Ministry ‌said on ⁠Tuesday its ‌forces had not hit any Ukrainian energy-related ⁠targets in ⁠their overnight attacks.
