Zelenskyy Skeptical of Russia Energy Truce, Demands Partner Guarantees

Zelenskyy publicly doubts Russia will honor a Trump-announced energy-target truce, signaling Kyiv's conditional readiness to halt strikes on Russian critical infrastructure only if partners guarantee an end to attacks on Ukraine. This marks a deviation from prior unconditional ceasefire rhetoric, introducing a verification condition that could stall the deal. The uncertainty centers on whether Russia will comply and whether partners can provide credible guarantees.
