Zelenskyy Offers Reciprocal Halt on Energy Strikes: Ukraine Stops Refinery Attacks if Russia Spares Ukrainian Grid
Zelenskyy proposed a conditional mutual moratorium on energy infrastructure strikes, linking a halt to Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries to Russia ceasing strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities. This marks a potential de-escalation in the energy-warfare dimension of the conflict, though no Russian response is yet reported. The proposal signals a possible opening for broader negotiations but remains unconfirmed and contingent on Russian reciprocity.
