Details: Zelenskyy said “when it comes to energy and freedom of navigation, achieving results in these matters would signal that Russia may be ready to end the war”.
Zelenskyy also added that if Moscow and Kyiv agreed to stop targeting each other’s energy infrastructure, it would be a significant step toward de-escalating the conflict.
Quote from Zelenskyy: “We saw during the first [peace] summit that a decision on energy security could be reached. In other words, we do not attack their energy infrastructure and they do not attack ours. Could this lead to the end of the war’s hot phase? I think so.”
