Ukraine and Russia discuss ending attacks on energy facilities

According to the Financial Times, Ukraine and Russia are in preliminary talks to end an attack on each other's energy infrastructure that has been ongoing in recent months. According to sources familiar with the process, this dialogue is being mediated by Qatar, which once again demonstrates the role of this country as a mediator in international conflicts.

It is noted that Kyiv seeks to resume negotiations mediated by Qatar, which were close to an agreement in August, but were disrupted by Ukraine's invasion of Kursk, the publication's sources, including high-ranking Ukrainian officials, said.

There are very early talks about a potential reboot of something. Negotiations are currently underway regarding energy facilities,

- said the diplomat, who was informed about the negotiations.

The newspaper writes that the agreement would mark the most significant de-escalation of the war since Russian dictator Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

This month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyi said that the agreement on the protection of energy facilities may indicate Russia's readiness to participate in broader peace talks.

According to a senior Ukrainian official, Moscow and Kyiv have already reduced the frequency of attacks on each other's energy infrastructure in recent weeks as part of an agreement reached by their intelligence services.

In 2024, Russia used more than 1,000 weapons against Ukraine's energy facilities. Losses of energy capacities exceed 9 GW, which is equivalent to the electricity supply of four EU countries.
