ABC News reported Zelenskiy, responding to US President Trump, said he would hold Ukrainian elections if Russian President Putin agrees to a 60-day ceasefire.

Former UK prime minister Boris Johnson called the US decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel disgusting, said blaming Ukraine for recent oil-price rises is obviously absurd and argued the increase began with the Strait of Hormuz closure. He accused the White House of trying to make US motorists pay for Putin's "massacre", said the policy will not succeed and doubted it would materially affect fuel prices.

Ukrainian President Zelenskiy said he spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Carney, Finnish President Stubb and NATO Secretary‑General Rutte about an energy ceasefire announced by U.S. President Trump. Zelenskiy said Ukraine supports the ceasefire, that Russia should also back it, and that Kyiv is awaiting details from the U.S.
