The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky admitted that Kiev could stop attacking Russian oil infrastructure in exchange for guarantees. This position represents a possible opening for an understanding with Russia in the energy domain.
Zelensky recalled that Ukraine has already repeatedly proposed a cessation of attacks on Russian infrastructure. These proposals were previously made as part of diplomatic efforts to try to find a resolution to the conflict.
The Ukrainian leader argued that an understanding in this area should constitute "a first step towards peace". This statement suggests that Zelensky sees the cessation of attacks on oil infrastructure as a mutual confidence-building measure that could open the way for broader negotiations.
The proposal comes in the context of a war that has lasted more than two years, with both parties trying to find ways to bring positions closer together for a possible peace agreement.
