The US president said on Sunday afternoon that both Russia and Ukraine had "agreed" to a ceasefire, writing on Truth Social: "Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed.
"Do not break it!" he added. "Thank you for your attention to this matter."
While Moscow is yet to comment, Ukraine's President Zelenskyy told US publication Axios that the agreement was "news to me", before later adding that he was still "awaiting details from the American side".
"Ukraine supports the ceasefire, and it is important that Russia support it as well," he wrote on X. "We are awaiting details from the American side.
"For our part, Ukraine always FULLY supports steps toward de-escalation, the protection of lives, and the decisions needed to end the war and guarantee lasting peace."
In another post, Mr Zelenskyy later claimed Russia had launched strikes on energy facilities in the Kharkiv region after Mr Trump's announcement.
He made the accusation as he shared details of a call with EU President Ursula von der Leyen.
"Just before our conversation, the Russians struck a power plant in Kyiv with a 'shahed' drone, and many districts experienced power outages," Ukraine's president wrote.
"Later, there were strikes on energy facilities in the Kharkiv region. And all of this happened AFTER the President of the United States made his statement about an energy ceasefire."
Mr Trump, whose war in Iran has been widely blamed for hiking global fuel prices, previously announced an energy ceasefire in Ukraine in mid-September. However, neither side ever confirmed an agreement had been reached.
Prior to that, an energy ceasefire was agreed in March 2025 - but this was broken by Russia.
Moscow has sought to deny Ukrainian civilians power, heat and running water during the war, hoping to wear down public resistance to its invasion.
Kyiv has also targeted key Russian infrastructure, with a drone attack on Sunday (11 October) shutting down a data centre run by technology giant Yandex.
Leaders back ceasefire
Ukraine's allies, including the UK, have backed Mr Trump's call for a ceasefire.
In a post on X, Andy Burnham said he discussed the matter with Mr Zelenskyy on Saturday.
"The UK strongly supports President Trump's call today for a sustained energy ceasefire to start now.
"I discussed this with [Zelenskyy] yesterday: Ukraine is ready if Russia stops its attacks. This is the best route to get energy and fuel back into world markets."
Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney shared his support for an agreement after speaking separately with Mr Trump and Mr Zelenskyy.
It comes as strikes from both sides have continued. Officials in Ukraine said on Sunday that Russian attacks on two cities had killed six people, with 20 more injured.
Earlier, Russian officials said one man was killed and two women wounded in a Ukrainian drone strike on the Bryansk border region.
At least 15 children are among the dead, according to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM).
The boat was carrying 305 people as it travelled from Djibouti to Yemen when it capsized near Guhere, north of Obock, on the night of 8 October, survivors told the IOM.
The agency described it as "one of the deadliest shipwrecks recorded" on the route.
There were more than 80 survivors, all Ethiopian nationals, it added. The number of dead rose from 109 reported earlier after more bodies were recovered and search and rescue efforts are continuing.
"This is a devastating loss of life. Our thoughts are with the survivors and the families who have lost loved ones or remain without news of their relatives," said Alexandre Coissac, the IOM's chief of mission in Djibouti.
"Our teams are on the ground alongside local authorities to provide emergency assistance. This tragedy is a stark reminder of the dangers faced by migrants along this migration corridor as they seek economic opportunities."
The IOM says it is assisting survivors at its Obock Migrant Response Centre while Djiboutian authorities continue search and rescue operations.

Thousands of migrants from the Horn of Africa travel through Djibouti, and cross the Bab el Mandeb Strait to Yemen in search of safety and employment, the IOM added.
The agency said that violence in Yemen has not deterred migrants, who can face violence, arbitrary arrest and detention, exploitation and trafficking in the country.
More than 900 migrants died, or went missing, along the route in 2025, according to IOM's Missing Migrants Project.
Sudanese organisation Emergency Lawyers said at least 72 people had been killed in the attack, which happened on Saturday morning local time in the Border Triangle Area.
Another group, the Sudan Doctors Network (SDN), said earlier that 13 people had died but also said that the number of those killed was expected to rise.
It has not been confirmed who was responsible for the attack, and the aircraft involved has not been identified.
The SDN said the miners had been repeatedly warned by Egyptian authorities to evacuate the area.
Initial reports suggested the attack took place on the Egyptian side of the border, while Emergency Lawyers said it happened in Sudanese territory and blamed Egyptian forces.
Gold has played a central part in the war in Sudan, with the insurgent paramilitary Rapid Support Forces smuggling out thousands of tons of the precious metal from the Darfur and Kordofan regions to fund themselves.

Abdel-Aziz Yousef, a survivor, told the Associated Press news agency that the site targeted was an artisanal gold mine in a mountainous area.
He said that many people were killed or wounded, and others fled the area amid fears there would be further strikes.
The SDN said earlier that some of the wounded had serious injuries and limited access to healthcare facilities.
In June, Egyptian security forces arrested hundreds of people on the border with Sudan, accusing them of illegal gold mining and smuggling.
More than 50% of gold mined in Sudan is smuggled out of the country, according to a 2024 UN report.
The man died outside the Beggars Bush pub in Sutton Coldfield just before 2am on Sunday.
West Midlands Police have since launched a murder investigation into the circumstances surrounding the stabbing.
Emergency services were called to the scene on Chester Road, but the man could not be saved.
Detective Chief Inspector Stacey Follows said: "Our investigation is at an early stage, and our thoughts are with the man's family and friends today.
"We will continue to support them as our investigation progresses, and I'd urge anyone who saw what happened, or who has dashcam or CCTV to get in touch with us as soon as possible."
The Beggars Bush pub was hosting a "birthday bash" event with "big tunes, big energy, singalongs, dancing & vibes until 3AM!", according to a post on social media.

A spokesperson for the Beggars Bush said: "We are working closely with the police as they continue their investigation, and the pub remains closed this evening.
"We are supporting our franchisee and their team, who have been shaken by the incident, and our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man."
Police have noted the "large number of people" who had been at the venue for an event, and asked anyone with information to come forward.
The 71-year-old pontiff made the announcement during his morning weekly Sunday noon blessing from St Peter's Square in Vatican City.
During the Angelus, as pilgrims listened in the square, Leo said: "Recently, during some medical examinations, doctors discovered a well-defined lung nodule, detected at a very early stage and clearly localised.
"The doctors consider it appropriate to intervene, and so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to have it removed.
"The procedure has already been scheduled for the coming days. I thank you and entrust myself to your prayers."
The Vatican said in a statement: "The surgery will be the first days of next week. The post operation recovery will be around one week."
He also made a similar announcement on the social media site X.
Pope Leo XIV, who is originally from the US, has no previously known health problems and is known to be physically active, with weekly tennis games and swimming at the papal summer retreat in Castel Gandolfo.
The surgery will not affect his scheduled trip next month to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru, Sky News understands.
His treatment will take place at the Gemelli University Hospital in Rome. He is expected to be there between tomorrow and Wednesday, Sky understands.
His predecessor, the late Pope Francis, died at the age of 88 and was increasingly frail in his later years.
Reacting to the news, Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni said: "I would like to express to the Holy Father my personal closeness and that of the Italian Government as he faces the challenge that lies ahead in the coming days.
"The calm and serenity with which he spoke about it during today's Angelus are reassuring. I am certain that the Italian people, too, will offer him their unwavering support and affection."
