According to CCTV News, on September 14 (local time), U.S. President Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine had agreed not to attack each other's energy facilities. However, Ukraine emphasized that this was conditional on Russia ceasing attacks on such targets first, while Russia merely stated on the 15th that it "welcomed the U.S. proposal to halt mutual attacks on energy facilities."

The preliminary consensus between Russia and Ukraine to suspend mutual attacks on energy facilities has significantly eased market concerns regarding supply disruptions caused by the conflict, exerting downward pressure on crude oil prices. However, as the agreement is currently only a preliminary intention—lacking a clear implementation plan or actual execution—the bearish impact remains limited.
