Zelensky: Moscow refused to consider energy ceasefire in Abu Dhabi talks

Russian delegation refused to discuss the issue

President Volodymyr Zelensky informed that during the negotiation process held in Abu Dhabi, the Ukrainian delegation raised the topic of establishing an energy ceasefire. Meanwhile, Russian representatives refused to proceed to discussing this item.

“They said: we have no mandate, contact Putin,” the head of state emphasised, explaining the opponent's position.

Context of previous statements

Earlier, Volodymyr Zelensky noted that Russia demonstrated a lack of willingness to discuss any options for a ceasefire. According to the president, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were to initiate the conversation about a ceasefire during a meeting with Volodymyr Putin. Despite this, no information was received, either before the start of the negotiations or after their conclusion, that the issue of a ceasefire had been discussed with the Russian leader.
