President Trump posted Monday that Ukraine and Russia had agreed not to hit each other’s energy. “Ukraine has agreed not to hit Russian Energy targets. Russia has agreed to do so, likewise.” Tuesday morning neither capital said it had. The World desk files a truce that lived on Truth Social.

Salalah did not sit.

Ukraine has agreed not to hit Russian Energy targets. Russia has agreed to do so, likewise.
