War in Ukraine: Kiev officially proposes energy truce to Moscow for Easter, announces Volodymyr.

Russia declared this week that it had not seen a “clearly formulated initiative” from Kiev regarding a pause in strikes on energy infrastructure during the Easter holidays.

Ukraine has transmitted to Russia, through American mediators, a proposal for a truce on strikes targeting the energy infrastructure of both countries, announced Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, on Monday, April 6. “If Russia is ready to stop hitting our energy sector, we will be ready to do the same. And this proposal from us – transmitted by the Americans – has been communicated to the Russian side,” he stated in his evening address.

On Tuesday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia had not seen a “clearly formulated initiative” from Kiev on an Easter truce in Ukraine. However, he rejected the idea of a ceasefire, stating that the Ukrainian leader must “make the appropriate decisions so that we achieve peace, not just a truce.”
