Russia-Ukraine "energy ceasefire" scope undisclosed, work underway: Kremlin spokesman

The scope of the "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine remains undisclosed and the relevant work is still underway, said Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov on Wednesday.

He noted that negotiations between the two sides are proceeding intermittently, with no agreed meeting scheduled.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social platform on Sunday that "effective immediately", an "energy ceasefire" is in place in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and that "both parties have agreed".

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Monday that Ukraine supports the "energy ceasefire," but Russia has not confirmed its implementation to the Ukrainian side, and Kiev has seen no signs of it in Russian actions.

Also on Wednesday, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said Ukraine attacked two oil refineries in Russia's Saratov and Ryazan regions on the same day, which he said demonstrates Kiev's lack of intent for an energy truce.

However, Ukrainian presidential communications adviser Dmytro Lytvyn denied the reports of Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries.
