The Kremlin has not commented on the supposed 'energy ceasefire'
US President Donald Trump has claimed that Russia will not attack targets in Kiev and other Ukrainian cities "for a week." Trump said that the decision came after he "personally asked" Russian President Vladimir Putin to suspend the strikes.
"Because of the extreme cold...I personally asked President Putin not to fire on Kiev and the cities and towns for a week," Trump told reporters at a cabinet meeting on Thursday. Putin "agreed to do that," Trump continued, adding that "we're very happy" with the decision.
Earlier on Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to comment on rumors that Moscow and Kiev had reached a co-called 'energy ceasefire'. The Ukrainian Air Force denied reports of such a truce.
