What people are saying
As of now, there is no indication that Russia is complying with the conditions outlined by the American President.
I'm not sure about that, and we'll take a look. But all I know is that Zelenskyy and Putin have to get together and end that ridiculous war.
This energy ceasefire, it can work, and it can become a major step toward ending the war if the Americans truly step in now and make sure Russians respect it.
Our employees are doing everything possible to repair the damage as quickly as possible and prevent risks to the stable operation of the energy system.
