Ukraine should accept energy truce only in exchange for halt to strikes on its power grid – Kudrytskyi
Ukraine should keep striking Russian oil refineries and consider expanding attacks to ports used to export sanctioned energy resources in order to secure reciprocal concessions on protecting energy infrastructure, former Ukrenergo CEO Volodymyr Kudrytskyi said on Radio NV on Oct. 16.
Former Ukrenergo CEO Volodymyr Kudrytskyi suggested that Ukraine should only accept an energy truce with Russia if Russia agrees to halt its attacks on Ukraine's power grid. Kudrytskyi believes Ukraine should continue attacking Russian oil refineries and expanding those attacks to ports used for sanctioned energy exports. The former Ukrenergo chief also proposed discussing a potential energy truce from a position of mutual obligations, where Ukraine could stop targeting Russia's oil and gas sector in exchange for Russia ceasing attacks on Ukraine's electricity system.
Kudrytskyi also pointed out that the United States' announcement of an energy truce does not seem to have been accepted by Russia, as Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure continue.
