On October 12, local time, Ukrainian President Zelensky stated via social media that Ukraine supports the energy cease-fire initiative but adheres to the principle of reciprocity. He clearly put forward a precondition: if Russia wants Ukraine to stop attacking Russian refineries and oil export facilities, Russia must stop air raids on Ukraine's energy system and critical infrastructure. Zelensky said that Ukraine has taken the initiative to propose an energy cease-fire several times before, and this statement is not a change in position. He also pointed out that the Ukrainian side has shown sincerity in implementing the agreement through practical actions. The Ukrainian side is currently awaiting the details of the US-Russia talks and the US side's follow-up measures, stressing that the energy cease-fire must be implemented in both directions.
