Ukraine, U.S. reach agreement on “energy ceasefire” terms, but Russia’s list contradicts Kyiv’s

European Pravda reported this information, citing the press service of Ukraine’s Ministry of Energy.

The Ministry of Energy maintains that the United States is aware of Kyiv's demands for an “energy ceasefire,” and that these demands have been agreed upon with Washington, despite reports suggesting that Russia has reached an agreement with the United States on a different list of facilities.

"Ukraine handed over and agreed with the U.S. side a typology of facilities for all energy infrastructure as part of the agreement to stop mutual attacks. This applies to the electric power, oil and gas sectors, nuclear and coal industries, and power engineering – the production of energy equipment," the press service said.

The outlet notes that the list published by the Russian side, which was allegedly agreed upon with the United States (a claim the American side has not yet denied), does not include Ukrainian oil and gas production facilities, which have been the targets of the most recent attacks.

• On Tuesday, March 25, a new round of negotiations took place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between Ukrainian and American delegations. Kyiv, Washington, and Moscow agreed to ensure safe shipping in the Black Sea.
• Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that a ceasefire regarding energy infrastructure could be implemented starting March 25, and that this issue had been agreed upon with the United States.
• President Zelenskyy believes a ceasefire will offer only a brief chance for a peace deal, noting that the Kremlin has consistently violated previous agreements.
