Zelensky: allies asked to scale back attacks on Russian energy
Ukraine's president says partners asked if attacks on Russian energy infrastructure could be 'reduced' as prices soar due to the Iran war.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has disclosed that international allies requested him to consider scaling back Ukraine's attacks on Russian energy infrastructure. This request comes amid global concerns over rising energy prices, exacerbated by the war in Iran, which has caused instability in international markets. Zelensky did not specify which countries or entities made the appeal, but noted they are key partners who have supported Ukraine in its defense against the Russian invasion. The statement highlights the tensions between Ukraine's military objectives and the economic considerations of its allies, who aim to mitigate the impact on the global economy. While Ukraine has ramped up strikes on Russian targets as part of its defensive strategy, this request could influence future operations, depending on price trends and the situation in Iran.
