What happened
French President Emmanuel Macron called for a moratorium on energy sector strikes between Ukraine and Russia, a proposal discussed with U.S. President Donald Trump in New York. Macron also discussed the prospect of an energy truce with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Separately, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that President Trump discussed halting strikes on Russian energy infrastructure with President Zelenskyy. Rubio noted that such a halt would be ideal, especially since attacks were reportedly causing global diesel fuel prices to rise.
