Ukraine & Russia Reject Energy Strike Moratorium; Escalation of Refinery Strikes

Both Ukraine and Russia have publicly rejected a moratorium on strikes against energy infrastructure, signaling a firm commitment to current military strategies. Ukraine has escalated strikes on Russian refineries, explicitly linking these actions to disrupting Russian war funding, while Russia maintains its military operations will not pause for negotiations. This mutual rejection of de-escalation measures increases the risk of continued targeting of energy infrastructure and sustained conflict.
