Zelensky offers reciprocal halt to attacks on Russian energy sites
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said Kyiv is ready to stop striking Russian energy infrastructure if Moscow does the same. He made the offer to journalists during the UN General Assembly in New York, with the stated hope of ending the war before winter.
Ukraine is ready to halt attacks on Russian energy infrastructure if Russia stops striking Ukrainian energy sites, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said. Zelensky made the offer to journalists in New York on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, according to France 24. He linked the proposal to hopes of ending the war before winter.
The suggested arrangement would be reciprocal: Kyiv would stop attacks on Russian energy infrastructure if Moscow agreed to do the same. The available material does not say whether Russia has accepted, rejected or responded to the proposal. It also does not identify recent attacks, specify which facilities would be covered or explain how compliance would be monitored.
No details are provided about a possible timetable or the involvement of other governments. Zelensky’s statement therefore represents an offer from Ukraine rather than a confirmed ceasefire. The source supports the basic terms and his stated objective, but gives no indication of whether the proposal will lead to negotiations or a reduction in attacks.
