Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Russia of manipulation and lies regarding the ceasefire in the Black Sea and the energy sector, according to Zelenskyy's evening address. According to the president,

A US delegation previously met Russian and Ukrainian officials separately, with both agreeing to a ceasefire deal that covers the Black Sea and strikes on energy infrastructure.

The Ukrainian side has submitted to the United States a list of facilities it believes should be covered by Washington's initiative to refrain from strikes on Ukraine and Russia's energy infrastructure.

US President Donald Trump acknowledges the possibility of Kremlin influence on certain members of his administration and team. This could be attributed to the intentions of American officials to achieve an end to the Russia-Ukraine war,
