US President Trump told the media at the White House on the afternoon of October 12, local time, that he believes both Russia and Ukraine have agreed to the “energy cease-fire” he proposed. When questioned by reporters, Trump said, “They all agreed. Do you know why? Because I said they agreed.” Trump said that Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky must sit down and negotiate to end this “ridiculous war” and “we will help them reach an agreement.” He also said that Putin would rather reach an agreement than Zelensky. Trump posted on social media on October 11 that immediately, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict will enter an “energy cease-fire.” Zelensky responded on the same day that he was unaware of this. Russian presidential press secretary Peskov said on October 12 that Russia has no information to release on this, and related contacts are still ongoing.
