The publication of the Financial Times that Ukraine and Russia are allegedly negotiating to end strikes on energy facilities is another Russian slip-up, said an informed source of NV on Bankova.
“It’s a ploy either by Russia or by someone helping them,” said this anonymous OP representative.
The publication’s interlocutor also denied the FT’s information that Ukraine and the Russian Federation allegedly reached an agreement last fall “tacit agreement” not to strike at each other’s energy facilities, noting that “this is a fake”.
He noted that the occupiers struck the Ukrainian infrastructure, but it was easier to bear than in the fall and winter of 2022, because “the weather was relatively mild, there was air defense, and we have wonderful people who quickly restore the destroyed.”
In addition, the Russians attack Ukraine every night, in particular, with the help of Shaheds, the NV source noted. “Their targets are critical infrastructure,” said the interlocutor of the publication, adding that the border and frontline regions, as well as Kyiv, are particularly affected. — What special arrangements might be involved, if so?
The day before, the Financial Times reported that Ukraine allegedly sought to resume talks with the Russian Federation, mediated by Qatar, which were close to an agreement in August, before they were disrupted by an attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk direction.
According to an unnamed senior Ukrainian official quoted by the FT, Moscow and Kyiv have already reduced the frequency of attacks on each other’s energy infrastructure in recent weeks as part of an agreement reached by their intelligence services.
