The statement came against the backdrop of discussions regarding a possible mutual cessation of attacks on critical infrastructure. The day before, Zelenskyy had emphasised that Ukraine was prepared to take such a step only on condition that its partners could ensure a genuine and long-term cessation of Russian strikes.<\/p>\n<div class=\"news-summary-box\"><strong>Key points at a glance:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Russia continues to launch attacks on Ukraine\u2019s energy and logistics sectors.<\/li>\n<li>Zelenskyy described Ukraine\u2019s responses as \u00absubstantial\u00bb.<\/li>\n<li>Ukraine is open to a mutual cessation of attacks on infrastructure.<\/li>\n<li>Kyiv is demanding guarantees that Russia will abide by the agreements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\" data-section-id=\"p3qu3b\" data-start=\"1150\" data-end=\"1201\">Zelenskyy spoke of \u00abtangible\u00bb responses from Russia<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1203\" data-end=\"1322\">According to the president, the Russian army continues to systematically attack facilities that are essential for Ukrainians to lead a normal life.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-start=\"1324\" data-end=\"1481\">\n<p data-start=\"1326\" data-end=\"1481\">\u00abRussia continues to launch attacks on our energy sector, ordinary logistics and critical infrastructure.

Zelenskyy had previously stated that the targets of Ukrainian operations include, in particular, the Russian Federation\u2019s oil refining, military and logistics infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1742\" data-end=\"1932\">In July, Ukraine also established a separate long-range strike command to coordinate strikes against targets that underpin Russia\u2019s ability to wage war.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1rrd9ee\" data-start=\"1934\" data-end=\"2000\">Russia has continued its attacks following talks of an \u00abenergy truce\u00bb<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2002\" data-end=\"2167\">The President\u2019s statement came after the US President <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/politics\/trump-energetychne-peremyria-ukraina-rf\/\">reported<\/a> regarding the alleged agreement between Ukraine and Russia not to attack each other\u2019s energy infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2169\" data-end=\"2414\">Zelenskyy clarified that <strong data-start=\"2192\" data-end=\"2230\">There is no formal agreement as yet<\/strong>. According to him, Ukraine is prepared to support the US proposal if Washington can ensure that Moscow is genuinely prepared to abide by it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2416\" data-end=\"2609\">The President emphasised that any potential agreement should not be a short-term truce, but a robust mechanism that would effectively protect the civilian population, the energy sector and food supplies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2611\" data-end=\"2727\">At the same time, Ukraine is not convinced that Moscow is prepared to honour any such agreement.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"cfwznm\" data-start=\"2729\" data-end=\"2771\">On the day of the announcement, Russia attacked Kyiv once again<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2773\" data-end=\"2975\">On 15 September, Russian troops attacked the Ukrainian capital once again. A drone struck <strong data-start=\"2876\" data-end=\"2908\">a petrol station in Kyiv<\/strong>, whilst in another part of the city, the strike targeted the warehouse infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2977\" data-end=\"3307\">The attack took place just one day after statements were made regarding a possible cessation of strikes on energy infrastructure. Russia has recently stepped up its attacks on Ukraine\u2019s fuel infrastructure \u2014 over the past few months, around 300 petrol stations have been targeted, mainly in regions close to the front line.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3309\" data-end=\"3532\">Zelenskyy himself had emphasised the day before that Ukrainian targets remain among Russia\u2019s objectives <strong data-start=\"3398\" data-end=\"3493\">energy facilities, port infrastructure, logistics, food and pharmaceutical warehouses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1n4swjd\" data-start=\"3534\" data-end=\"3585\">Ukraine is ready for de-escalation, but only if it is mutual<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3587\" data-end=\"3764\">Kyiv\u2019s position remains the same: if Russia ceases its attacks on Ukraine\u2019s critical infrastructure, Ukraine is prepared to refrain from carrying out retaliatory strikes against Russian targets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3766\" data-end=\"3994\">Zelensky <a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/main-news\/ukraina-hotova-prypynyty-udary-po-infrastrukturi-rf\/\">called<\/a> this is a potential <strong data-start=\"3799\" data-end=\"3851\">the first step towards de-escalation and an end to the war<\/strong>, but stressed that Ukraine needs concrete details from its partners and guarantees that Moscow will honour the agreements.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3996\" data-end=\"4170\">Until such guarantees are in place, Ukraine continues to respond to Russian attacks.
