Sequence only, with date kinds.
- 2026-10-11 (announcement date, Sunday): Trump’s Truth Social post (text above; exact post not fetched, reproduced by Business Today and quoted in part by NBC).
- 2026-10-11 (statement date): Zelensky tells Axios the announcement “was news for me” and that “if Russians agree to an energy ceasefire, Ukraine will agree”; after calls with Carney, Stubb and Rutte he said Ukraine supports the ceasefire and awaits US details (Business Today).
- Russia: Business Today carries no Russian statement. Reuters (Oct 13, relay) reports a Kremlin spokesman said only that contacts were ongoing.
- 2026-10-13 (reported): Reuters says Russia hit no Ukrainian energy targets overnight for the first time since the announcement, but it could not say if that was deliberate, and Zelensky said Russia kept attacking energy and critical infrastructure; see 2026-10-13–ukraine-no-early-warning-kyiv-missile-strike-russia-no-energy-targets-ap-reuters.
