- Trump declared an 'energy ceasefire' between Russia and Ukraine — a framework that would require Kyiv to pause strikes on Russian energy infrastructure.
- The same initiative has Trump pressuring Kyiv to stop its attacks on Russian refineries while simultaneously pursuing fuel deals with Moscow.
Why it matters: Washington is asking Ukraine to surrender a wartime tactic — refinery strikes that directly erode Russian state revenue — while the U.S. negotiates its own energy arrangement with Moscow, leaving Kyiv holding the cost of the deal.
