On Tuesday, Feb. 3, Trump told reporters in the White House that Putin had “kept his word” regarding a temporary pause in attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. According to the US leader, he had agreed with his Russian counterpart that the Kremlin would launch no strikes against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure for a week. Trump’s specific comments were: “It [the Kremlin hold on attacks] was Sunday to Sunday, and it opened up [i.e. the week-long hold on attacks ended] and he [Putin] hit them [Ukrainian homes, businesses and energy infrastructure] hard last night. He kept his word on that. It was – it’s a lot, you know, one week. We’ll take anything, because it’s really, really cold, over there [in Ukraine], but it was on Sunday, and he went from Sunday to Sunday.” Trump, on Thursday, Jan. 29, during a televised cabinet meeting, announced he had negotiated a week-long “energy ceasefire” between Russia and Ukraine, by personally asking Putin “not to fire into Kyiv and the various towns for a week” because of the extraordinary cold weather in Ukraine, and that Putin had agreed. As the precise moment Trump claimed to US reporters that Putin had kept his word, at about 3:50 p.m. Washington DC time – at 10:50 p.m. in Kyiv – a massive Russian missile and drone strike package had already breached Ukrainian airspace.
