Ukraine ready for comprehensive ceasefire covering energy and Black Sea security

Ukraine is ready for a comprehensive ceasefire covering energy infrastructure and Black Sea security, according to Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal. The key question remains whether Russia is prepared for a full cessation of hostilities. Shmyhal stated the proposal involves a mutual halt to strikes on energy systems, not exchanges or concessions. The initiative was discussed during a meeting between the Ukrainian and US presidents, with details developed alongside US Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Ukraine views the energy truce as linked to a maritime ceasefire, which would secure the grain corridor and improve conditions for farmers. Kyiv continues preparing for winter scenarios without relying on the adversary's honesty.
