Donald Trump says that Ukraine and Russia are moving toward a deal. The goal is to stop attacking each other’s energy plants and power grids.

For a long time, Ukraine has been hitting Russian oil refineries. They do this to hurt Russia’s ability to make money and fuel their war machine. In response, Russia has been hitting Ukrainian power plants, which leaves many people there without electricity or heat.

President Zelenskyy of Ukraine says he is willing to pause these strikes. But he has one big condition. He wants to be sure that Russia is actually going to stop their attacks, too. He wants the United States to help make sure that Russia is serious about this plan.

Trump has been pushing for this to happen. He is worried about how these attacks are affecting the global economy. He pointed out that when Russia’s oil production is hit, the price of fuel like diesel goes up here in the U.S. and around the world.

Right now, both sides are testing the waters. If this deal goes through, it would mean fewer attacks on the places that provide heat and electricity to people. It is a sign that both countries might be looking for a way to lower the heat on these specific kinds of attacks.
