Zelensky warns of funding war effort

The Ukrainian leader stated that providing fuel to the Kremlin gives Moscow additional money to continue its conflict. He argued this financial support undermines international peace efforts rather than helping them. Zelensky described the move as a gift to Putin that offers no benefit to the civilized world.

Kyiv rejects energy ceasefire proposal

The Ukrainian president also refused calls for an energy ceasefire that would require stopping attacks on oil refineries. He insisted that Moscow must first end its own attacks on energy infrastructure before such a pause could occur. This rejection highlights the disagreement over conditions required to halt strikes on fuel facilities.
