President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called for an energy ceasefire and stronger food security measures, warning of global agricultural risks stemming from the ongoing war, and stated Ukrainians will not be left without food. The statement comes amid continued Russian strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure and cities. Zelenskyy further warned that if Russia causes blackouts in Ukraine by striking energy infrastructure, Kyiv will try to respond in a 'fitting fashion,' signaling potential retaliatory strikes on Russian energy targets while continuing to press for an energy ceasefire as an alternative to further escalation.
