President: Ukraine ready to halt strikes on oil refineries if Russia stops attacks on energy sector

Volodymyr Zelensky made this statement in an interview with Alla Mazur, host of “TSN.Tyzhden,” according to Ukrinform. “If you want us to stop striking Russia’s diesel and oil refining infrastructure, it’s very simple. Then they stop striking our power grid. And that’s fair. An energy ceasefire. That’s how it can work,” the President noted. According to him, he has proposed this approach to international partners. Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine is responding to Russian strikes on its energy infrastructure because Russia must also feel the consequences of its attacks. “ Oil , diesel, fuel. Of course, this is very painful for him [Putin ]. He’s causing us a lot of pain. And we’re responding.
