Trump Says Ukraine and Russia Agree to Stop Striking Energy Sites

In September 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump said that Ukraine and Russia had agreed to stop strikes on each other's energy infrastructure. He also said Ukraine would produce a less sophisticated version of the Patriot air-defense interceptor and that the two countries were discussing a license for that production.

The announcements came as Ukraine faces a defense funding gap of about $27 billion, with the EU asking questions about the shortfall. Trump also said drones should stop being used in the war.
