Zelenskyy Proposes Mutual Pause on Energy Strikes with Russia
(MENAFN) Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that Ukraine has offered Russia a reciprocal halt to attacks on energy infrastructure.
“If Russia is ready to stop strikes on our energy sector, we will be ready to respond in kind. This is our proposal — conveyed through the Americans — and the Russian side has it,” he stated.
Zelenskyy added that Kyiv is working closely with US officials on preparing proposals and strengthening the framework for security guarantees.
“Security guarantees are the key to truly ending the war, to achieving a lasting peace, and to creating the political and legal conditions necessary to bring the war to an end and to build public trust in the process,” he said.
He emphasized that Ukraine maintains nearly daily contact with the United States at multiple levels to “ensure there is a result.”
“There is currently a lot of skepticism about diplomacy — not only here — regarding Russia’s war against Ukraine. But the outcome, and whether there will be one at all, depends on all participants in the diplomatic process,” Zelenskyy added.
Earlier this year, US-mediated peace talks between Russia and Ukraine were held but were disrupted by the US decision to launch a military operation in the Middle East.
