The US president previously said he had secured a week-long moratorium on attacks against the Ukrainian power grid amid a cold snap
Russia has agreed to partially suspend long-range strikes on Ukrainian targets at the request of US President Donald Trump, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has confirmed.
Trump previously said he had personally asked President Vladimir Putin for such restraint due to the unusually cold weather in Ukraine, which adds additional strain to the country’s energy system.
The weeklong moratorium is to last until February 1 and is meant to “create favorable conditions for negotiations,” Peskov told journalists on Friday. He declined to offer additional details about the arrangement, including whether Kiev made any commitments for reciprocity.
Ukraine has been targeting the Russian energy sector with kamikaze drones for months, claiming that the economic damage this cause will weaken Russia and make it more pliable at peace talks. The Russian military says its retaliatory strikes are meant to degrade Ukrainian weapons production and military logistics. Several large Ukrainian cities, including Kiev, experienced major power and heating outages this month, as the degradation of the energy system coincided with severe cold.
