During a meeting at the United Nations, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy put forward a proposal urging both Kyiv and Moscow to cease strikes against each other’s energy infrastructure.
Zelenskyy held discussions with President Trump at the international gathering, where he outlined the need to protect power grids and other critical energy assets from further military targeting.
The suggestion addresses a significant aspect of the ongoing conflict, as both nations have repeatedly targeted energy facilities throughout the war. The proposal comes as diplomatic efforts continue to seek ways to de-escalate tensions and reduce humanitarian suffering caused by infrastructure destruction.
Power grids are legitimate military targets under current interpretations. This won’t stop the strikes, sadly.
Mutual halt? Sure, if Putin agrees to it. Hope Kyiv isn’t just performing for the gallery here.
Finally, someone addressing the freezing winter problem. Civilian suffering must end regardless of political outcomes.
Is Trump even in a position to influence Moscow right now? Seems like a hollow gesture without leverage.
