Trump Announces Russia and Ukraine Agree to Halt Attacks on Energy Facilities

President Donald Trump announced on September 14, 2026, via Truth Social that Russia and Ukraine have mutually agreed to stop targeting each other's energy facilities. Trump linked the ongoing conflict in Eastern Europe to record-high diesel prices, with AAA reporting a national average exceeding $6.00 per gallon. Trump had previously urged Ukrainian President Zelensky to halt strikes on Russian diesel fuel sites.

Via a Truth Social post on Monday, the president outlined the arrangement, connecting higher diesel prices to the war in Ukraine and noting that Kyiv had committed to avoiding strikes on Russian energy infrastructure. He pointed to the war between Russia and Ukraine, rather than tensions involving Iran, as the driving force behind rising diesel costs worldwide. Those remarks followed Trump's request that Zelensky stop targeting Russian fuel infrastructure with drone attacks, with Trump arguing the strikes were pushing up energy costs globally.
