> Donald Trump said Ukraine and Russia had agreed to stop striking energy targets, but neither side confirmed a deal. Volodymyr Zelensky said he was unsure Russia wanted to honor it and offered reciprocal restraint if partners could ensure Moscow stops attacking Ukraine’s energy and critical infrastructure. A Russian general was reportedly killed in a Ukrainian strike, while NATO chief Mark Rutte called drone attacks near Poland evidence of Putin’s “desperation.”
