Rubio: US to push for energy ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington will attempt to achieve an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, though he acknowledged the goal is difficult. Rubio noted both sides have made strikes on each other's energy infrastructure a strategic military objective, complicating any agreement. He argued a ceasefire would benefit both countries, helping Ukraine protect its grid and Russia avoid deep strikes on its industry. Rubio added the U.S. considers a limited truce important and will continue efforts. President Zelensky said Washington has not requested Ukraine unilaterally halt strikes, while President Trump previously urged an end to attacks on Russian refineries.
