Where the versions diverge

Russian sources relay Trump's statement and the refinery clarification without a Kremlin assessment of their own; Ukrainian and independent ones stress that Kyiv was not informed and that Russia struck the Kharkiv power plant after the announcement. The substance differs: "energy" in Trump's post versus "refineries only" according to Axios.

What Russia reports

automatic summary Interfax and TASS quote Trump's Truth Social post: the "energy ceasefire" takes effect immediately and "both parties have agreed". Later Interfax, citing Axios, clarified that Trump is seeking a halt to strikes not on all energy infrastructure but only on refineries, and that the White House awaits Moscow's answer. There is no official Kremlin reaction in the sample.

“Effective immediately, there is an energy ceasefire in the war between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed.”

“а исключительно по НПЗ, сообщает портал Axios со ссылкой на источники”

What Ukraine reports

automatic summary Zelensky said Ukraine is ready for a full energy ceasefire if Moscow is genuinely committed to one, but a few hours after Trump's statement Russia struck CHP-5 in Kharkiv. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Russia violated the truce immediately after it was announced. Ukrainska Pravda, citing Axios, writes that the White House understands the truce as an end to attacks on refineries only, although Ukraine has only one refinery, which is not working at full capacity.

“11 октября Россия атаковала ТЭЦ-5 в Харькове - это произошло спустя несколько часов после того, как президент США Дональд Трамп объявил о начале "энергетического перемирия"”

“Міністр закордонних справ Андрій Сибіга заявив, що Росія порушила "енергетичне перемир'я" одразу після його оголошення”

“Водночас в Україні є лише один НПЗ, який не працює на повну потужність.”

What independent sources report

automatic summary The Guardian writes that Trump announced the ceasefire apparently without consulting Zelensky, who called it "news to me". Kyiv Independent, citing a senior Ukrainian official, reports that Kyiv had no information about the ceasefire, and cites the Presidential Office's confirmation that CHP-5 was struck after the announcement.

“apparently without consulting Volodymyr Zelenskyy , who said the deal to stop long-range attacks was “news to me””

“Ukraine’s Presidential Office confirmed that the attack occurred after U.S. President Donald Trump announced an energy ceasefire”

Confirmation: the sides contradict each other

The groups of sources give incompatible information (the model, reading the texts, flagged incompatible statements of fact; differing figures are shown in the card). The site does not decide who is right.
