A top U.S. official has called for an immediate halt to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, dismissing the ongoing hostilities as "ridiculous" and claiming both sides have privately committed to refraining from strikes on critical energy infrastructure. The remarks follow escalating tensions over recent attacks that have disrupted power supplies and raised fears of a broader winter crisis. The statement suggests a behind-the-scenes diplomatic push to de-escalate violence, though no public confirmation of the agreement has been provided. Whether such a pact holds remains unclear amid continued military operations.
US President urges Zelenskyy, Putin to end 'ridiculous war' and insists they agreed to stop attacks on energy sites.
