Putin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has said Russia is ready to consider a proposal by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for a halt to attacks by both sides on each other’s civilian infrastructure, such as energy facilities.
However, Peskov says there are no concrete plans in place yet for direct talks between Ukraine and Russia.
Recall that on Monday, Zelenskyy had said Ukraine is ready for any form of discussion to bring about an end to attacks on civilian facilities, which include water, transportation, electricity and communication systems.
However, Peskov said this Tuesday that the matter is a bit complex as there is the need to clearly differentiate in what situations these facilities can be a military target, and in what situations they cannot.
Peskov quoted Putin as saying that a civilian facility could become a military target if enemy combatants are meeting there.
