Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine has proposed that its partners secure an agreement with Russia to halt attacks on critical infrastructure.

Axar.az reports that Zelensky stated on his X account that Ukraine is not convinced Russia would abide by such an agreement.

“Ukraine has proposed that its partners secure an agreement with Russia that would stop the destruction of critical infrastructure. Food, energy, and other basics that sustain life must be protected, and Russian strikes are directed primarily against them. Every day, Ukrainian energy facilities, port infrastructure, logistics, and even warehouses storing food and pharmaceuticals are targeted. Ukraine is not convinced that Russia is willing to abide by any agreement,” Zelensky stated.

“If our partners are ready to ensure that Russia genuinely refrains from striking our electricity system, other energy facilities, critical infrastructure, and food supply routes, then, of course, we are ready to ensure a corresponding halt to our strikes,” Zelensky wrote.

He said such a move could serve as a first step toward peace.

“The war must be brought to an end. And a de-escalatory step regarding critical infrastructure could be the first step toward peace. We expect specifics from our partners,” he added.

Zelensky’s statement came after US President Donald Trump said Ukraine had agreed not to strike Russian energy facilities.
