“We expect specifics from our partners”: Zelenskyy says Ukraine will accept energy truce with Russia only if West guarantees Moscow won’t break it after its elections
Zelenskyy says any potential truce needs Western guarantees.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine will only accept an energy truce with Russia if the international community guarantees that Russia will not violate the agreement following its elections. According to Zelenskyy, Russia has agreed to cease attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities, which are primarily targeted to disrupt the supply of diesel fuel used by Russian tanks in Ukraine.
The issue of rising diesel fuel prices, which have reached over $6.20 per gallon in the United States, is being attributed to the Russia-Ukraine war, not the Strait of Hormuz closure as previously claimed by US President Donald Trump. Zelenskyy emphasized that the energy truce must remain in place after Russia's elections to have a meaningful impact on people's lives.
He also called for de-escalation around strikes on critical infrastructure as a first step towards ending the war.
