Can a Russia-Ukraine energy truce work?

US President Donald Trump is pushing for an "energy ceasefire" between Russia and Ukraine, a proposal Ukraine says it is ready to accept, though attacks on energy infrastructure continue on both sides. Trump, who blames the war for rising US diesel prices ahead of November midterm elections, met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the UN General Assembly. Kyiv has offered to halt strikes on Russian refineries if Moscow stops targeting Ukraine's power and heating systems, but the Kremlin has linked any truce to easing sanctions. Analysts are skeptical a truce will hold, noting Russia has repeatedly broken past ceasefires and would likely exploit ambiguities in any deal. While Ukraine faces a harsh winter, Russia's own energy infrastructure is under pressure from Ukrainian deep strikes, creating potential incentives for both sides.
