Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Sunday that Ukraine would be prepared to stop attacking Russian oil refineries. He attached a condition: Russia must limit its own attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
The statement concerns strikes by both warring sides on energy facilities. Kyiv is presenting it as mutual restraint: it would give up strikes on Russia's oil sector if Moscow reduced strikes on Ukrainian energy.
The source report gives no further details on how such an arrangement might work or whether talks on it are already under way. It also does not say whether Russia has responded to the condition.
