UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham stated that Britain 'strongly supports' US President Donald Trump's call for a sustained energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. While Trump was more definitive in his statement, claiming on Truth Social that both parties had already agreed to an immediate ceasefire, the agreement remains unconfirmed by either government.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the development was 'good news for everyone' but that it was not yet a reality for Kyiv. He said on social media on Sunday, 11 October 2026: 'Unfortunately, Ukrainian skies have been infested with Russian "shaheds" all day today. There have been glide bomb strikes and strikes on our energy infrastructure too. A power plant in Kharkiv was attacked this evening.'
