Donald Trump stated on Truth Social that Russia and Ukraine reached an agreement to cease attacks on energy infrastructure. Neither Moscow nor Kyiv has officially confirmed the existence of this deal.
On September 14, 2026, US diesel prices reached a record high of $6.23 per gallon, according to AAA data. Trump suggested the truce could alleviate pressure on the fuel market.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine would only consider stopping strikes on Russian energy facilities if Russia provides genuine guarantees. The Kremlin has remained silent.
Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil infrastructure in 2026 led to fuel rationing and a temporary suspension of Russian diesel exports in July 2026. Russia continues to target Ukrainian power grids.
