Ukraine Considers Ceasefire on Russian Oil Refineries Amid U.S. Proposal

Ukraine has signaled willingness to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries under a condition, while the United States proposed the idea to President Zelenskyy. The reports, from Russian and U.S.-based media, suggest a potential shift in the conflict's strategic focus on energy infrastructure. The Russian government's response remains unreported.

Ukraine has expressed readiness to stop strikes on Russian oil refineries, though the specific condition remains unspecified, according to Lenta. The United States proposed to Zelenskyy to cease such strikes, as reported by RIA Novosti. Neither report details the exact terms of the proposal or the condition for Ukraine's potential ceasefire. The divergence in reporting highlights the lack of clarity on the proposal's specifics and the absence of Russian government reaction.
