Kremlin calls energy truce ‘a very good idea’ but says it ‘won’t solve the world’s problems’
Russian officials are calling the energy ceasefire proposed by the U.S. president — a mutual pledge by Russia and Ukraine to stop striking each other’s energy infrastructure — “a very good idea,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters. But he said the truce alone won’t save world markets from shortages.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the energy ceasefire proposed by the U.S. president is "a very good idea." However, he clarified that the truce alone will not solve world market shortages. According to Peskov, addressing the main issue - exporting petroleum products to global markets - requires Ukrainian forces to stop attacking oil tankers and for sanctions on Russian energy exports to be lifted.
He emphasized that while the ceasefire would help stabilize Russia's domestic market, which is already "close to being fully saturated," fixing fuel shortages internationally would necessitate further efforts beyond the ceasefire agreement.
